Beetroot Salad

There is no recipe as such , just went with what came to my mind when I saw 2 sad looking beets sitting next to a couple of Bok Choy which was on the verge of wilting. Grill/boil beetroot ( pref grill ) , cool , peel and slice. Blanche bok choy for 10 seconds , set aside .Take some oranges , peel and remove the membrane , you can use any fruit .
Crispy fry finely sliced onions till they are a deep golden brown , do the same with chopped garlic- set aside to cool .

Take4-5 tablespoons orange juice + 1 teaspoon lemon juice, season with salt and pepper - this is your dressing .

On a bed of bok choy ( use any greens ) place the beet and some orange segments .Sprinkle the dressing , let the salad sit 3-5 minutes . When ready to serve , sprinkle the crispy fried onions and garlic.

You get this delicious sweet and sour salad with bites of crispy onion and burnt garlic. Superb .

Chicken in Banana Wraps

150-200 Grams Chicken Thigh Meat
Make a paste :
6 Garlic Cloves
3-4 Green Chilies ( I used birds eye red one )
1.5 Teaspoon Yellow Mustard Seeds.
2 Tablespoons Curd.
1 Tablespoon Mustard Oil.
Salt.

Cube chicken and apply the paste. I left it to marinate 4 hours .
Cut banana leaves into large squares . Heat the leaf and the rib over a flame to warm and soften. With the back of a knife press the rib to make it more pliable.Add 3-4 tablespoons of chicken in the center of each square , fold to seal and steam for 20 minute . Comes out delicious .
