It's finally time I posted this yummy Tal/Sesame Seed Recipe. 
I always snap and insta story this dish when I make it, 
but I've never got around to sharing it on my blog. 
This Tal/Sesame Seed Recipe is one my Aunty Fatima shared with me,
I usually tweak it here and there depending on what I'm in the mood to add,
but this is the classic recipe.
Also what better time to post the recipe, 
who else has that 'what should I cook today?' issue but on a Tuesday.

By the way,
I usually serve this dish with 
which I have shared the video recipe for 
(first video so bare with me - I will re shoot it soon)
or you can serve it with Baked Potatoes

  1. Braise your grated onions in some olive oil till golden. 
  2. While the onions are braising, marinate your chicken pieces with the red chili paste, garlic, red chili powder, cumin, coriander seeds, turmeric, pepper, salt, lemon juice, tomato sauce, pureed tomatoes and almond flakes.
  3. When your onions are golden, add your marinated chicken with some water and leave to cook.
  4. Towards the end before serving, in a small saucepan add your mustard seeds, curry leaves, sesame seeds and oil. Braise till the mustard seeds starts to 'pop' before drizzling it onto the chicken.
  5. Serve with your baked potatoes/crispy potato wedges and salad.

    1. You can skip the frying of the onions, or nowadays you can find ready fried onions in some Indian/Asian supermarkets or private sellers so that is a life saver.
