Chicken Lollipop

How to Prepare Chicken Lollipop

Chicken lollipop happens to be a very famous appetizer in all Indian restaurants. The very name, the way they look, the taste and everything about it makes it an appealing dish, no wonder why it is so popular. These are so easy to grab and nibble on too. Following is a recipe that tastes so much similar to the restaurant style. Since I did not get lollipop cut pieces I had to cut them myself, it was my first time but I guess I got it close to right! Both my hands were busy and it was difficult for me to capture the chopping part, so I’ll do it next time with someone along to help me capture it. If you do not get lollipop chicken pieces from the market just grab a few chicken wings and cut them into lollipops, there are lots of posts and articles about it on the internet that’ll help. Just refer such tutorials and try your hands on them, you might have a little struggle if you are doing it for the first time but do not give up as there’s nothing you can’t do! Now lets see how to prepare this super delicious lollipop recipe.

Serves one platter

Total Preparation Time – 20 minutes

Ingredients

1. Chicken lollipop pieces – 5
2. Red chilli powder – 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon (as per spice tolerance)
3. Cumin powder – 1.5 teaspoons
4. Maida / Corn starch – 1 tablespoon
5. Ginger garlic paste – 2 teaspoons
6. Tomato sauce – 1 tablespoon (or tomato sauce – 2 tsp & red chilli sauce – 1 tsp)
7. Soy sauce – 2 teaspoon
8. Vinegar – 1/2 tsp
9. Salt – 1/4 teaspoon (or as per taste)
10. Oil – To deep fry the pieces

Preparation

• Take a an and mix all the ingredients except chicken and oil. Mix well to form a thick paste. Do not add water.
• If you get chicken lollipop from the butcher shop well and good, you can use it directly in the recipe, if not just take some chicken wing pieces and cut them into lollipops.  I had to chop wings into lollipops the same way. It is not very easy but at the same time not very hard too. After that wash the fish pieces well in water, drain water completely.
• Now add them to the bowl with the prepared masala and mix well. Rub the masala all over the chicken pieces and set aside for 5 minutes. (You can put the marinated pieces into a zip lock pouch and freeze until use. When using remove from freezer and let it come to room temperature. Then use)
• Now place a frying pan on flame and pour enough oil to fry the pieces.
• After the oil heats up, gently slide in the chicken pieces and fry both sides until the pieces seem cooked and turns reddish.
• Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and serve hot!

• TIP 1: Corn flour or maida gives crispiness to the fry and helps the masala adhere to the pieces well. If you don’t want any flour you can simply add the other masala ingredients and mix well, then apply over the chicken pieces, but make sure you don’t add any water to the masala.
  TIP 2: Instead of vinegar you can use lemon.TIP 3: Marinating time depends on your time availability, it can be anywhere between 15 minutes to overnight. If the marination time extends for more than 20 minutes make sure to refrigerate the pieces.

Sev

How to prepare Sev at Home

Ingredients

Bengal Gram Flour (Besan, Kadala Maavu) – 1 cup

Asafoetida – 1/4 tsp

Turmeric Powder – 1/4 tsp

Chilly Powder – 1/2 tsp (optional)

Salt – to taste

Water – as needed to make dough (app. 3-4 tblsp)

Oil – for deep frying

Method

1. Mix the bengal gram flour, salt, asafoetida, turmeric powder and chilly powder together.

2. Add enough water and knead it to make a soft, sticky and gooey (but not watery) dough.

3. Add few drops of oil to your palms, to the dough and to the inside of the sev press to reduce the stickiness.

4. In the meantime, heat up the oil in a kadai to fry the sev.

5. Fill the dough into a idiyappam maker or sev press with the appropriate ‘sieve’  – the one with the smallest holes or with slighly bigger holes can be used.

Note :- For purposes like chaats, the thin sev is a must. For enjoying sev(omapodi) as a snack or for making mixtures, either one would do.

6. When the oil is hot enough, press out thin strands of the dough into the hot oil.

7. Deep fry till the sev turns crispy. Generally the sev is done when the vigourous bubbling of the oil subsides.

8. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

9. Cool and store in a air tight container. This is a perfect snack by itself or can be used for making chaats and mixture.

Tips

– If you want to have sev(omapodi) as a snack by itself, you can add other flavourings in the dough like, ajwain or dried herb powder etc.

Chicken 65 is a spicy, deep-fried chicken dish originating from Chennai, India, as an entree, or quick snack. The flavor of the dish can be attributed to red chillies but the exact set of ingredients for the recipe can vary. It can be prepared using boneless or bone-in chicken and is usually served with onion and lemon garnish. This spicy, tasty south Indian dish has also paved its way for the origin of 'Chicken-65 Biriyani' in Chennai.

EASY-Evening-snacks: Bread-paneer-rolls

Bread Paneer Rolls | Indian Paneer Recipe | Step by Step

Bread Paneer Rolls are probably the easiest and quickest snack you can make with some bread slices and paneer filling. I make this often with different variations of paneer filling recipe to make a nice snack for tea time. The bunch of you who wrote to me asking 'post recipes that we can cook with kids' or kid-friendly recipes, etc etc, I am looking right at you. I don't have kids so I have never really tried this with them but I have a very good feeling about this, trust me you.




Funky paneer recipes totally float my boat, especially if they are easy to prepare. I saw this recipe in a Nita Mehta book in the library. I didn't borrow the book and didn't have anything to quickly note down ingredients and details AND I made this a whole 2 months later. So this is pretty much my own recipe, coming to think of it. What that also means is, you can make it your own by simply adapting, adding, subtracting and testing out your own variations to the paneer mix used in this recipe.

How to make Bread Paneer Rolls Recipe

Makes 4 rolls


Ingredients:
1 cup crumbled paneer
1 small onion, chopped fine (I should have added this!)
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
1/4 tsp powdered cumin / jeera
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
A small bunch of coriander, chopped fine
1 tsp or a bit more tomato sauce / ketchup
4 slices of bread
Butter to toast
Salt to taste


How to Make Paneer Bread Rolls:

1. Place the crumbled panner in a nice bowl. Mine is from Ikea, thanks for asking
2. Add the red chilli powder, garam masala, salt, chopped coriander, chopped onion, and jeera to this.
3. Mix lightly with your finger tips. 
4. Then add the tomato sauce or ketchup and the ginger garlic paste.
5. Blend again with finger tips. Set aside while you prep the bread.
6. Remove the crusts from your bread. Use the regular white commercial variety. 
7. Roll out each slice as thin as you can. Commercial bread will have tons of leaveners in it so you get to do this quite easily. 
8. Place about 1 tsp or so of filling on one end of the rolled out bread slice. 
9. Gently roll in from one end, making sure that the filling stays well within the first turn of the roll. 
10. Go ahead and roll it all up. 
11. Repeat with the remaining bread slices. 
12. This step may be unnecessary but I remember the book mentioning it so I did it. Wrap up the tightly rolled bread slices with filling in a clean, damp kitchen towel. I used my cheese cloth, folded over twice for enough thickness. 
13. Set aside for about 15 mins. I think this makes the bread moist or something, no idea why we would do this otherwise. If you omit this step, let me know how that turns out, won't cha?
14. Now, butter up the rolls well on all sides. 

Lightly roast in a pan until all sides are browned. Cut up and serve with tomato sauce. Don't they look lovely?


If you have store bought paneer in the fridge, then this can be put together in minutes. Imagine a fun evening cooking this with your kids or even better, wow-ing your guests with an appetizer that hardly took more than 30 mins to make. Its easy to do a bulk batch of this too. You can also cut up the rolls into smaller discs, stick a toothpick in, and serve it as a fancier appetizer.
