Red Harissa Chicken#Sundayfunday

Harissa chicken recipe is a perfect delight for spice lovers. Harissa is a fiery and garlicky North African & Middle Eastern spice paste that's traditionally served alongside bread, stews and couscous dishes. The rich, spicy harissa sauce is absolutely delicious. This harissa chicken, can be served with rice or roasted potatoes and a vegetables for a main course.

Ingredients
½ Of Whole Chicken With Bone In & Skin - It weighed around 725 Grams
For The First Marination
1 Tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste
½ Teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Greek Yogurt/Hung Curd
For The Second Marination
2 Tablespoons Heaped Homemade Harissa Paste
½ Teaspoon Salt
2 - 3 Tablespoons Oil

Method
For The First Marination
Make cuts on the chicken and pat it dry.

Take the chicken and marinate it with the given ingredients. Cover and leave it in the refrigerator for about an hour or more. 
For The Second Marination

Apply the harissa paste along with the salt well to the chicken so that the marination coats the chicken well. Rub the marination into the cuts and under the skin and then refrigerate it until ready to cook. Marinate the chicken  for anywhere from an hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

Then next day or when ready to cook, apply oil well to the chicken and the grease a tray with oil. Arrange the chicken on the pan and cook in the preheated oven at 200°C for about 35 to 40 minutes. Half way through the baking time turn the side of the chicken. If you want the skin crisp then broil it for 5 minutes. 

Or you can grill the chicken on a grilling pan. Cooking on all the sides well till the chicken is cooked, I prefer the oven method, which is hassle free.

Serve and enjoy!!

Keto Wiener Beef Schnitzel#EatTheWorld

This is a easy keto/low carb Schnitzel recipe for crispy fried and seasoned beef steak.

This is a perfect recipe for one who has gluten intolerance. Using almond meal in the place of breadcrumbs, I was able to create a delicious (and healthy!) substitute for breaded schnitzel. 

Serves One
Ingredients
300 Grams One Big Undercut Beef Steak - flatten
½ Teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon White or Black pepper powder
½ Teaspoon Mustard sauce
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce - Sugar Free
1 Egg
½ Cup Almond Flour - to coat
Olive Oil For Frying

Method 
Lay down a  strip of plastic wrap or cloth on your kitchen countertop. Place beef piece on the plastic wrap or cloth, cover with another strip of plastic or cloth so the meat is sandwiched between two layers. Use a mallet to flatten the steak until it's ¼ inch thick. Season with salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Refrigerate this for at least an hour or overnight.

When ready to fry, dip in beaten egg, then with almond flour. Pat the almond flour coating onto all visible sides of the steak, making sure there’s an even layer of coating over all the visible surfaces. Refrigerate the coated schnitzel for at least 30 minutes.
Pour oil into a skillet until it’s deep enough for shallow frying. Heat the oil slowly over medium. While oil is heating,
When the oil is hot (but not smoking or splattering), fry the coated steak until they are golden brown on both sides, for about 4 minutes per side.

After frying, set the schnitzel on a paper towel and pat them dry to soak off excess oil. Serve hot garnished with sliced cucumber and feta cheese with a sprinkle of black pepper powder.
