Recipes
Among the many reasons that make Indian food a popular
cuisine across the globe, one is the use of aromatic spices that make the meal
an absolute treat. Yes, it could also be hot and spicy for some, but if you can
get past that then you will find it hard to resist the various kinds of curries
and stir-fries that grace the Indian table. Indian cooking offers a beautiful
melange of herbs and spices, and if your favourite meat is chicken, then there
are many lip-smacking options for you to go all out and indulge.
Chicken cooked in fiery desi flavors is a dream come true
for all non-vegetarians. Apart from being a very versatile meat when it comes
to cooking, chicken also promises great health benefits. Did you know that the
human body can derive about 30 different nutritional substances from just 100
grams of chicken? Chicken is a great source of lean, low fat protein. It is
also packed with selenium, a chemical known for its anti-cancer properties. The
skin of the chicken is known to contain the maximum fat; therefore skinned chicken
is preferred by many.
