Chatpatta Chicken
This one's my own invention, prompted by one of Tahir's incessant cries of, "I'm still hungry".
I call it Chatpatta chicken because it tastes almost like Bhel Puri, and is ready in just about 10 minutes.To start with, we don't actually cook any chicken, but use pre-cooked chicken sausages. Chicken salami works too. I also added in a bunch of mushrooms for fun.
Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 large chicken sausages (frankfurter sausages are good, but a little firmer)
- half a packet of mushrooms, washed well
- optionally, 100gms soya nuggets (cooked, but this will add some 20 minutes to preparation time).
- half a cup of bhelpuri sauce (you can make this or buy it readymade)
Remember, for bhelpuri sauce, the taste is in the tamarind.
Procedure:
1. chop up the sausages and mushrooms to a manageable size
2. heat up a wok/kadai on a medium flame.
3. Drop the mushrooms and chicken (and soya nuggets if you have them) in, stir around for a couple of seconds, and then add the sauce.
4. Mix well, turn to low flame and cover the Wok.
5. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Open the lid, mix around a bit more.
7. Serve hot, eat with Appams.

theres one thing i would recommend with mushrooms... never wash them .. it makes them rubbery.. instead use a wet napkin to wipe them clean... they taste much better that way... try it..

Nithya,
The mushrooms I used to get in Bangalore had a lot of mud on them. Washing them with water, and actually rubbing hard with my fingers was the only way to dislodge all the dirt.
Still, will try a napkin the next time.
