Royal China India, situated at Turner Road in the Mumbai suburb of Bandra west has been acclaimed to be one of the better Chinese restaurants in the city, so I decided to finally patronize the place again due to a previous unpleasant experience.

This has to be one of the simplest pasta recipes, all you need is store bought ingredients out of a jar or a packet and voila dinner is ready in a jiffy. Kids love this too and you can encourage them to make it with you, just make sure they’re safe. You can substitute the chicken with shrimp, fish, lobster, calamari or mussels too and use any short pasta.

This a Gordon Ramsay original recipe which I had to try and share, its simply divine, simple and an awesome meal. I strongly recommend you try this and maybe serve it with country loaf or baguette and compound butter, perhaps a potato rosti or hash browns maybe even mash, just to add starch to the meal. Wilted greens will go well with this too.

Chicken Chasseur
This classic French recipe is not as complicated as it seems. Sauce chasseur, sometimes called "hunter's sauce", is a simple or compound brown sauce used in French cuisine. It is typically made using demi-glace or an espagnole sauce as a base, and often includes mushrooms and shallots. It may also include tomatoes and a finishing of fine herbs.

Southern Fried Chicken
Southern fried chicken is a staple Sunday dinner is most of the southern parts of the US of A, hence the name. No this is not the recipe for KFC, this is my version and I mostly cook this in the oven to avoid the extra fat by deep frying it, hence the skin is necessary because it keeps the meat moist and tastes oh so delicious.

Jerk Chicken
Jerk is a style of cooking native to Jamaica in which meat is dry-rubbed or wet marinated with a very hot spice mixture called Jamaican jerk spice. The term jerk is said to come from the word charqui, a Spanish term of Quechua origin for jerked or dried meat, which eventually became jerky in English. traditionally this is to be cooked over a coal fire, we’re going to adapt Ryan Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08248973803850550102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935857647525770226.post-61364901790356354732014-05-12T15:15:00.000+05:302014-06-23T12:29:58.403+05:30Baked Herbed Chicken
Baked Herbed Chicken
Baked herbed chicken with root veggies is a beautiful, simple and delicious dish to make for the whole family, especially for working moms that come back from work, run the house and cook dinner at night. The reason why I’m saying that is because the prep time for the dish is very low, the remaining is cook the time in the oven and its very healthy too.

This flavor packed veggie burger is quite fantastic, its healthy, tasty and frankly I wouldn’t mind having this once in a while instead of the beef burger. There are so many recipes on the internet but I have designed this burger with flavors that I like, hope you like this recipe, enjoy!

Chicken Burger
This recipe is for the health conscious folks who want to steer clear from red meat or that don’t eat red meat, I’m using low fat mayo, whole wheat buns to make it lower in calories. The trick is to keep the burger tender, normally chicken burgers are tough, and you want to pack in as much as flavor as possible as chicken takes on flavors very well.

This recipe is very similar to the Chicken Pot Pie with one main difference, there’s no chicken in this dish, however I have added quite a few textures and flavors to take this dish up a notch. It’s a meal by itself, I would recommend having this with a light green salad that’s crunchy with a tangy Italian vinaigrette and maybe a nice dry Chenin Blanc to wash down the palette.

It’s quite simple and easy as long as you have pre-made/store bought shortcrust pastry and puff pastry, this is a walk in the park. A complete meal by itself, personally I prefer to start off with a light leafy salad like a Greek Salad or Panzanella without the chickpea, you don’t want to fill up to much and yet get your daily quota Ryan Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08248973803850550102noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935857647525770226.post-16012997477546678602014-05-01T20:06:00.000+05:302014-05-01T20:07:16.443+05:30Shortcrust Pastry Shortcrust pastry is a type of pastry often used for the base of a tart, quiche or pie. It does not puff up during baking because it usually contains no leavening agent. It is possible to make shortcrust pastry with self-raising flour, however. Shortcrust pastry can be used to make both sweet and savory pies such as apple pie, quiche, lemon meringue or chicken pie.

It’s a whole meal by itself, great if you’re running low on energy and especially great if you have a hankering for something delicious, then you’ve come to the right place.

The Shepherds Pie or Cottage Pie is basically a pie made with leftover meat covered with mash potatoes. Historically it was made with mash potato as the shell, leftover roasted meat and the top covered with mash again. Where’s the fun in that? This recipe is a typical English version of its Irish counterpart, I make it regularly at home, my wife loves it to bits.

It’s a wonder versions of this haven’t popped up on menu’s around the world, its spicy, tangy and oh so tasty. I’ve combined a few elements from popular Thai dishes to make this a unique burger experience.

A chicken salad is the one thing that should be in everyone’s refrigerator, it’s easy, lasts a couple of days and makes a perfect snack or meal in minutes.
