KOSHARI

This is basically an Egyptian recipe, which I have modified according to Indian taste.

Ingredients

1. Boneless chicken :1 cup
2. Horse Gram (boiled) : ½ cup
3. Basmati Rice (boiled) : 1 cup
4. Noodles (boiled) : 1 cup
5. Macaroni (boiled) : 1 cup
6. Ginger (crushed) : ½ tsp
7. Garlic (crushed) : ½ tsp
8. Green chillies (crushed) :1/2 tsp
9. Onions (thinly sliced) : 3 medium sized
10. Red chilli flakes/ Dry red chillies: 4
11. Soy sauce : 2 tbsp
12. White pepper powder : ½ tsp
13. Papads : 3
14. Oil : ½ cup
15. Salt : as required

Tomato Sauce

1. Tomatoes (medium size) : 3
2. Garlic : 3 cloves
3. Salt : as required
4. Water : little
5. Red chilli sauce : ¾ tsp


Method:

Boil chicken with salt and shred. Boil each ingredient (2-5) separately with salt and drain to take off excess water. In a pan, heat oil and sauté onions till brown and keep aside.In the remaining oil, sauté crushed ginger, garlic, green chillies until there is no raw smell. Add boiled, shredded chicken and fry till light brown. Reduce flame and add ingredients (2-5) and mix well. Then add soy sauce, white pepper powder, fried onions, red chilli flakes and mix well again. Add more salt if required and remove from fire. Fry papads and crush into small pieces. Spread the fried papads and serve hot with tomato sauce.

Tomato Sauce

Put tomatoes in water and boil to separate skin. Blend tomato, garlic, enough salt, water and red chilli sauce to make the sauce which is same consistency as rasam.
