Strawberry crush and Vanilla strawberry shake.

This is so refreshing and beyond words delicious. It is crazy delicious! Please do try it. Super simple and super yum. Strawberries are in season too.

What you need:
Strawberry crush, 4 Tbsp (home made, you can use the market one too)
Fresh strawberries, 5-6 chopped
Vanilla ice cream, 1 scoop
Milk, 300 ml
Ice cubes, 4-5

Strawberry crush, home made:
To make the strawberry crush you need to put some chopped strawberries (180 g) in a hot deep-cooking thick bottom pot (deep kadhai). Immediately add sugar to this and let it simmer on slow flame. Switch it off when the mixture looks blood red in color and is reduced. You can store this in the freezer and use it as jam or on a cake as icing or with muffins or eat just like that to satisfy your sugar craving. Should look like the pictures shown below.

Put everything (strawberry crush, milk, ice, fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream) in a blender and blitz. Garnish with chopped strawberries. And you are done! 

Herbed chicken

So I am writing a recipe after a long long time. Been busy with some things and also i hate to get addicted to the internet. Anyway here is something i tried yesterday. It was delicious. One of my favorite from now on for sure. And My apologies for the bad photographs. I am a terrible photographer. 

What you need:

2 chicken breasts
5 tbsp whisked curd, should be thick and not runny
7 crushed garlic flakes
Black pepper
Chilli flakes or chilli powder
Oregano 2 tsp, dried
Thyme 1/2 tsp, dried
Olive oil, 2 tbsp ( 1 for the marination and left over for the veggies)
Red bell pepper
Mushrooms
salt to taste 

Wash the chicken nicely and dry it with a kitchen towel to get off any excess water. Make small incisions on the chicken breast as to let the flavors penetrate nicely. Mix all the herbs, spices, crushed garlic and 1 tbsp olive oil together in a bowl. Now massage the chicken nicely with this marinade. Let the chicken marinade over night in the refrigerator or you can keep it for 4-5 hours too,if you are in a hurry.

Preheat the oven to 220 deg Celsius and  also Line an oven tray with some tin foil. Wash and cut your veggies (red bell peppers and mushrooms) into big chunks. You can more veggies of your choice like carrots, potatoes. Season the veggies with olive oil and salt and pepper.

Place the veggies on the tray to make sort of a bed for the chicken. Take out your marinated chicken and lay them on the bed of veggies. Pour the extra marinade in the bowl on top of the chicken breasts. Roast the chicken for 25-30 minutes. It tastes delicious with some spicy ketchup. Serve hot and i hope you enjoy this recipe.
