Chicken Chettinad Sandwich





Chettinad Chicken Sandwich:

Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Hot Chicken Sandwich.

Whenever I am on a long drive, I prepare my own food(sometimes). Its better than eating at fast food joints. Its good to stay on track while dieting. One little deviation, then I am all gone!! Traveling, makes me to gain weight! No proper exercise, eat at any new place that allures me...while meeting people, I always tend to get carried away for snacks n fried appetizers!!

Guess few of us might be interested in these tips!! While travelling, drink plenty of water...never deprive yourself for water. Avoid colas or sodas!! Its better to carry fruits like oranges and bananas with you, all the time!! We always tempt to make unhealthy choice only when we don't have any back up resource!! Carrying granola snack bar in a hand bag, is the best thing that you could do for yourslves.(even for short trips)!!

If you plan to eat outside, pick the place that you knew better...for example 'subway' fast food joint will be a better choice than an unknown alluring 'Chinese Restaurant'!!! Try to avoid eating meat at any new place during travel (except top class restaurants). Swine flu, bird flu, undercooked, bad handling...who the hell knows!!!

I am a true spice lover!! So made this spicy sandwich for myself. The recipe is rather simple, it just took me 15 minutes in the kitchen!! Hope you'll will like it!!

Ingredients:

Chicken breast 1/2 cup (shredded)
Green chilies slices 1
Garlic 8 cloves sliced
Onion 1 sliced
Salt
Chili powder 1/2 spoon
Pepper powder 1 spoon
Cumin seeds 1 spoon
Curry leaves few
Sesame oil few spoons
Brown bread 4 slices.

Method:

In a wide wok, heat oil. Add cumin, chilies and curry leaves...wait till they pop.

Now thrown in garlic and onion, fry real good until aromatic.

Now add shredded chicken and stir fry over high. Maybe till they turn opaque and ind of semi done.

Add salt, turmeric, chili and pepper powders...fry till the chicken is done.

Now stuff them in the bread and grease your sandwich maker. Ta-dah...dinner ready!!!
