Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in nonstick saucepan or wok on high flame. Add garlic and half of the green chillies in the oil and sauté for 30 seconds. Be careful not to brown the garlic. Add carrot and chicken and sauté for 2-3 minutes on high flame. Once carrot and chicken are almost done add cabbage, bell pepper, and capsicum and sauté for 1 minute on high flame. Take a small mixing bowl and mix tomato puree, red chilli sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar together and pour into the wok. Add chicken stock and stir gently.

Transfer to the serving bowls and serve piping hot immediately. Garnish with more spring onion and fried noodles on top.

Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Keep aside. Heat the ghee in a deep non-stick wok, add the cloves, cinnamon, peppercorns, red chillies, and cumin seeds and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds. Add the remaining ¼ teaspoon of asafoetida, green chillies, curry leaves, onions, garlic, and tomatoes and sauté on a medium flame till the tomatoes soften.

Caesar salad on a stick

Caesar salad is a filling yet light on the stomach salad and here is a new twist to it. Serve it on a stick. It’s such a fun way to serve salad.

Ingredients

• 4 wooden (bamboo) or other disposable skewers (such as plastic)

• 4 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped into large chunks (a bag of chopped Romaine lettuce will work)

• 200g cooked chicken cubes

• 16 small cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes

• 4-5 cheese slices

• 2 tablespoons light Caesar dressing

• 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Preparation

To make each salad stick: Make a small stack of lettuce (about ¼ cup of lettuce) and thread onto stick. Next add 1 chicken cube and 1 cherry tomato. Add 1 more stack of lettuce. Add 1 chicken cube and 1 tomato. Repeat these steps 2 more times ending with 1 tomato on top. You can add sliced cheese too. Follow the same steps to make the remaining three salad sticks. Place salad sticks on a serving plate. Drizzle each with 2 teaspoons salad dressing and sprinkle ½ teaspoon Parmesan cheese on each. These can be prepped in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Drizzle the dressing and sprinkle with cheese just before serving.
