Local Chicken in Winter

Buini sanchai,ke kamale aaunubhako thiyo,asked the lady near the door,the eyes with question engulfed my body posture and started making a sense of belatedness as it was evening.I was very late to reach the home,she was short in height and was the proficient in rural language to welcome guest I noticed she prepared the meal in such manner I just loved and noted down the recipe when she kept on showing the items available in her kitchen and backyard garden,and nearby green grocery .


Masu bhanepachhi,local khukurako bhanepchi mitho hunchhha,I realized her intension of having local chicken roasted souted at home and I loved she explained ,chhhya chhhya chhya,kasto phohor pasalko khana ta,she was right she was good at everything ,perfect at cooking,cleaning and welcoming guests .Hernus buini,she started her narratives from her old age and my mind became more active to listen her tone of speaking ,she dealt about her bakra,kukhura and her best food recipes.She started cooking and I just made a list of ingredients in my notebook.

2.5 cups boneless local chicken, cooked and shredded 1 small onion, chopped 1 small tomato, chopped 2-3 red or green chili, chopped 5-6 cilantro leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon oil 1.5 teaspoon cumin powder 1 teaspoon chili powder (skip this if you like mild flavor) 3 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice  salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste  .

– In a bowl combine chicken, onion, tomato, chili – In a small bowl, mix oil, cumin powder, chili powder and lemon juice. – Pour it over chicken mixture then add cilantro leaves. – Adjust seasonings and leave it in the refrigerator covered for about 30 minutes so it marinates better. 



Obviously,people love local chicken during winter as  the protein in chicken lends itself to muscle growth and development, and help support a healthy body weight and aid weight loss. Chicken soup, chicken stew, chicken chili, chicken breast on salad…chicken in almost any form is great for your health.
