The heat here in Delhi is unbelievable. It is driving me crazy. I don’t want to eat anything but ice cream.
If you’ve read my post from yesterday, you might remember that I was supposed to go on a diet from today. However, diet in my case means topping my hot chocolate with either caramel or whipped cream, never both. Also i only eat desserts once a day when on a diet.
So today I made Kohlapuri Masala Chicken, using very little oil, and it was scrumptious. This is a dish from the town of Kohlapur in Madhya Pradesh in India.
However, as I type, there’s a belgian ice cream brownie sunday on it’s way to my place, and i’ll be eating it. That’ll be my one dessert of the day. I’ll complain of the weight again in a day or so. :))
Also, I’m now on bloglovin and hope to keep in touch with my fellow bloggers.
And now print the recipe and go make yourself some nice supper.
KOHLAPURI MASALA CHICKEN
12 chicken drumsticks
2 tbsp chicken tikka spice blend
½ tsp salt
8-9 medium tomatoes, (boiled peeled and pureed)
