8. Fold one end to almost half the width then, wrap the two other sides across each-other, so none of the mix can fall out.

Fancy a real treat for Sunday Lunch or impressing your guests at an evening meal – Indian Style? Well here’s a recipe we think you’ll love, using our juicy chicken fillets covered in a delicious spicy sauce. We’ve completed the dish by adding some rice and vegetables, but you can make your own choice of what you’d like along side it. The chicken pieces chosen were from the Eurofoods own branded Murghee Master Chicken Fillet range.

Ingredients (Serves 2-3):

½ Cup Peach Preserve
¼ Cup Lemon Juice Our Product Code 45LJ
1 tblsp Olive Oil
½ tsp Ground Red Pepper Our Product Code 43GWP
¼ tsp Cumin Our Product Code 43JP04
¼ tsp Ground Coriander Our Product Code 43CRP1
¼ tsp Garam Masala Our Product Code 42GM01
2 Tins/Canned Plum Tomatoes Our Product Code 51CTS
2 Garlic Cloves Our Product Code 21GAR
½ piece of Ginger, peeled Our Product Code 21GI
2 Murghee Master Chicken Breasts Our Product Code  01MM
1 Cup of Water

*Cooking Spray – Made From 1 part Olive Oil 4 part water (Above Ingredients)

Additional Ingredients (Optional)

Mixed Vegetables Our Product Code(18MV)
Basmati Rice Our Product Code(36AK)

Method:

1. Measure out all the above ingredients.
2. Using a food processor, blend the preserve, lemon juice, olive oil, red pepper, cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, tomatoes, garlic and ginger until it reaches a smooth paste consistency.
3. Divide the 2 Chicken Breasts into 2 food bags and carefully divide the marinade between the two bags with the chicken breasts. If you have the ziplock bags you will be able to seal them. Then refrigerate ideally overnight if not then 2-3 hours will be sufficient.
4. Remove chicken breasts from the bags and place on two pieces of foil. Keep the marinade. Season and spray with the cooking oil. Wrap each marinated chicken breast with the foil and place on a baking tray and put into the oven at 190C for 30-40 mins (depending on the size of the chicken breasts, adjust accordingly)
5. You could also grill the chicken breast after baking to colour the breast and crust the top. This is optional.
6. Remove from the oven/grill and check core for any signs of pink to make sure the meat is well cooked before serving.
7. Set aside.
8. Add 1 cup of water to a pan and add the marinade and heat on high until boiling. You could also add the juices from the chicken in the foil to add that extra meaty flavour to the sauce.
9. Reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens. Poor over chicken

Serving Suggestion:

Present the chicken as you want it on the plate. Add the sauce over the top of the chicken, use as much as desired for each chicken breast. If there’s any left over, leave to cool, put it into a container, seal with lid/cling-film and put into the refrigerator for further use.

Ingredients

1 Medium Onion, halved and sliced lengthways
100g Gram Flour
2 tsp chilli powder (1 tsp for milder taste)
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Ground Cumin
1 tsp Ground Turmeric
Pinch of Salt to taste
Water about 150ml
Vegetable Oil for deep-frying

(tsp = tea spoon)

 

Method

1. Mix the flour, spices and salt in a bowl. Gradually mix in enough water to make quite a thick, sticky batter. Add the sliced onions and mix well.
2. Heat oil to 180°C. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop in a splash of batter. It should start sizzling immediately, but not violently.
3. Form the batter into 6 balls. Deep fry for 2 minutes, turning halfway through. Drain on kitchen roll and serve.
4. For a healthier option the bhajis can be put into an oven and baked. Bake at 180° C, gas mark 4, for 10 mins, brush over a little oil onto the onion bhajis, and return to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown
