Tal/Sesame Seed Chicken Recipe
Tuesday, May 08, 2018
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.

2 Grated Onions
1 Chicken (cut into preferred pieces)

2 - 3 Small Pureed Tomatoes
1/3 Cup Almond Flakes
3 Tbsp Tal/Sesame Seeds
2 - 3 Tbsp Rhy/Mustard Seeds
2 - 3 Sprigs Of Curry Leaves

- METHOD -
- Braise your grated onions in some olive oil till golden.
- 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.
- When your onions are golden, add your marinated chicken with some water and leave to cook.
- 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.
