Chicken Potato Cutlets Homemade Recipe | Tasty Chicken Potato Kebab at h...

Dear Foodies,

Hi,

Potato Cutlets are a well known recipe that is being prepared and served in many parts of the world. This recipe is so flexible that we can add and less any ingredient of our choice. So, another popular way is to add boiled or leftover chicken  in these types of cutlets/Kebab. This change brings extra flavor and change the routine.

I, personally like to add many green ingredients in my recipe but here I tried to be moderate. As far as red chilies are concern, you may add or less any type of it. The combination of potato and chicken is so delicious that you can sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper and still it would be amazing to enjoy a delicious snack.

Such snacks are good at tea times and to serve for surprise guests. You can prepare a good quantity of these cutlet and refrigerate them for a week. I would not suggest to freeze them as my experience is not good to it. Potatoes were leaving a lot of moisture that was messy and not good at frying. Please give it a try at your home and enjoy it.

Bon Appetite!

Ultimate saucy Pasta with chicken and vegetables | With extra sauce and ...

 

Hi everyone,

Here is our all time favorite recipe that we love to have in our lunch and dinners. Yes, it is chicken vegetable saucy pasta with herbs. Traditionally, this Italian recipe is prepared in small quantity of red sauce, but we like more saucy pasta. We made few changes to alter the taste and it worked very well.

We initially tried at home and were keen to have it often. But that was not enough, so we decided to share with our friends. They like it very much and this encouraged us to improve it. It was our foremost priority to share this recipe at the earliest but could not make it happen. But it is never too late. We are sharing our favorite recipe.

Initially, I love to add chopped garlic in olive oil and then rosemary for a different flavor and fragrance. It is still our favorite way to cook but sometime we change it for our friends.For more chicken flavor, we added lots of chicken stock and few ketchup with Italian herbs and famous soy, chilies sauces. Vegetables have their own role to enhance the flavors because we cook the vegetables for a few time in chicken stock to merge the flavors. This all combination is awesome.

Many people are vegetarian and do not like meat based recipes so, they have the option to exclude the chicken, stock and sausages. In lieu of it, they can use vegetables stock that is also an interesting addition to this lovely recipe. Enjoy it in your way.

Thanks and regards,

Cooking Food

Dear All,

Hi,

We are not new in food industry but started this blog a little late, but "its better late". Actually I am not alone my family is also with me to share their expertise. Cooking and baking is our hobby for years. Few years back we planned to share our recipes to other as well. So we started out Facebook page with our starting name "aala.cuisine". Aala means "Excellent"in Hindi and urdu. It has many other meaning in other languages and I am not going to discuss it yet.

After some time we started our channel at Youtube with a title of "Food Segment" where we are sharing some of our favorite recipes. Instagram is also very responsive in these days, so, we are also there as "aala_cuisine". We are getting likes for our efforts and that is quite encouraging for us. Though it is at small level but we are consistent and ambitious to achieve our goals.

For last few years I have shared my views on Social issues and Gardening through Blogger and Wordpress. These both forums are excellent and now I am back at my favorite forums. There are some recipes that are regional and may be most of you are not familiar to those but it is good. We are intending to add recipes from different cuisines.

Finally, we need your support to promote our channel and we will do our best to do the best.

Best regards.
