Mango Chicken

LiL Mermaid · May 1st, 2005, 11:05 PM

I had mango chicken at a malaysian restaurant the other day, it was so delicious, I thought I'd try to make it today. It turned out great, here's the recipe, try it -

You need boneless chicken for this.

Heat oil in frying pan; add chicken pieces and brown them. Pour off excess fat. Add some garlic-ginger paste and fry. Add julienned red peppers, I also threw in asparagus shoots coz I love those. Now add red chili-garlic sauce (the vietnamese one, available at most chinese grocey stores). Add salt to taste. Cover and cook on low until almost tender. Add mango and cook 10 more minutes.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

thats different Lil Mermaid. it must be a very rich in taste dish?, sounds delicious!

Hey Meeni,

Thanks, it was different in a good sort of way, a little crunchy, and with none of the usual desi spices. I used almost ripe mangoes so that it wasn't very sweet. The recipe called for 1/4 cup of pineapple juice and a little soy sauce too, but I decided to omit those coz I prefer my food on the spicy side.

I'm going to try it with oranges next time.

from wot i have read in the past, i think shareen is an all rounder and she seems to be a useful person to ask questions to.

is that ok shareen if i consult u when i have a dilemma!

Shahreen - no pics of the mantus, but I'm planning to make Afghani Pilau a la Shahreen next, and I promise to take pics when I do. The pic you posted looked good enuf to eat!

While you're around, let me tell you, I bought the lipocils on your recommendation, and it's working GREAT for me. I lost a few lashes from an eye infection a few years ago, and I have always been conscious of it, but now 2 months later, I can hardly tell!

Meeni - I agree, Shahreen is the Oracle of Life2.

Looking forward to seeing how your afghani pilau turns out. Glad to hear the lipocils worked out for you.

Lil Mermaid

I was recently wondering where u had disappeared to!! Good to see you back and posting. I hope all's well ur at end.

LiL Mermaid · May 15th, 2005, 03:49 PM

Hey Doc, Get back to work?!! I've only got 2 more weeks at the place!! I guess I will be around for a bit until then. Talk to you soon!

Sehar - hey, how are you? Alhumdulillah everything is great here. Things didn't go quite as I'd planned, my company sold our division, we were all going to be laid off May end, so I was busy job-hunting. I found something better and took a week off to go unwind before I start the new job. Anyways I'm always trying new stuff in the kitchen so hopefully I will be around

Meeni - Just got back from vacation yesterday, the fridge is bare, hopefully next weekend
