So this recipe was actually called a Nandos recipe, but it has no nandos spice or sauce, so I decided to change the name to the not-so-nandos-chicken. My aunty made this the other day, her on holiday means I get new recipes and cooking lessons.. It's a quick and easy recipe, which I hope everyone enjoys. Can be served with roti, naan, paratha or like how we served it with garlic bread.


MARINATE CHICKEN PIECES:

Red chilli powder (bhookie)
Tumeric (araad)
Lemon Juice
Crushed Garlic

• Cook till the chicken is done, can use a bit of water so it doesn't burn out while cooking.
• Next, fry some potato wedges.
• Once the chicken is cooked take a pyrex (baking/oven dish) and mix with ingredients below:

Nothing beats a good old fashioned British lunch; fish fingers, chips, baked beans, mushy peas and mayo. Can be served with a sunny side egg. My dad literally lives for this meal, reminds him of home I would think, this is my plate but he literally has a platter of the whole meal.

It is quite simple to make, frying up the fish and chips, heating up the baked beans.
The mushy means what I did was blitz up some green peas with a bit of salt.

Like I said this meal is super straight forward, and easy to make, you can switch up the fish if you want and instead of cooking up fish fingers you make hake or salmon. But this is a great meal, fish is good for you and it makes those Saturday lunches a bit more easier to make.

I will say if you have any other fish and chips recipe or tips please feel free to comment down below or on my facebook group, all social sites for spicy fusion kitchen are linked on the home page. Like, comment, follow and share (:

So this is a great weekend dish, get the whole family involved in the making, it will be fun. My dad was on the plating duty lol. So this is quite an easy dish to make from the marination till the serve up. A healthy alternative than going out and getting take-out, same burger but packed with more good flavour.

Please note to all my international subscribers, the machacho spices and sauces are mostly found in Southern Africa, and I'm not sure if it can be found anywhere else. I do apologize, I will suggest if you want you can still try this recipe but substitute the spices with what is available in your area (if I am wrong and these spices can be found internationally please let me know so I may update this post).

Marinade:
Machacho's mild peri peri sauce
Machacho's mild dry spice (powder)
Salt/Pepper
Lemon Juice
Ground red chilies
Chili Flakes (not too much)
Paprika
Turmeric
Ground ginger & garlic
Ground cumin & coriander
Robertson's chicken spice

Preparation:

• Take your chicken fillet, make slits in the meat. Be careful not to go so deep. 
• Marinate the chicken and make sure the marinade goes in to the slits and keep over night or for a few hours. 
• We used a water griller to grill the meat, but any griller will do. 
• Keep basting the chicken as you turn with the next over marinade. 
• When the chicken has cooked, butter up some burger rolls, add chicken, cheese, lettuce, and a sauce of; mayo, tomato sauce, garlic sauce, machacho peri peri sauce and the dry spice mild machacho. 
• You can serve with fried chips.

I will go as far and say hands down this is the most amazing ice-cream in the world. Mum makes this all through summer in like bulks cause we all eats so many bowls a day lol don't judge. Recipe credit goes to family friend Farhana Desai. 

I would say that having an icecream machine makes it so much easier to make, and you nowadays get super affordable ones, and small ones as well so you don't have to go all out and buy a huge one. Also I will say married couples check your wedding gifts maybe you got one and didn't even know and its like stored in the back of the cupboard, yes that is what happened to my mum.

INGREDIENTS 
1L milk
200g (1 Pkt) woolworths original soft eating licorice 
2 eggs 
1 tin nestle cream
1 condense milk ideal milk

PREPARATION

• Boil the milk and melt the licorice. 
• When cool than add; the eggs, nestle cream and condense milk and beat well. 
• Make it in the ice-cream maker.
• Top with black and white sprinkles when serving.

Any questions feel free to ask, I know woolworths is in Southern Africa and England, not sure about the rest of the world so you can substitute and use licorice sweets from the sweet shop, just make sure they taste like licorice and are soft enough to melt easily.

• coriander leaves
• ground green chillies
• paprika
• turmeric

STEPS: 

• Boil spaghetti, make sure the water has salt inside for seasoning.
• In a small bowl:

1.        add ground ginger and garlic
2.        ground red chilli (can make fresh or use the paste)
3.        liquidised tomatoes (1 or 2)
4.        gharam masala (this is a mix of all indian spices, again check at a spice shop        close buy)
5.        fine jeeru (fine cumin seeds)
6.        salt
7.        bhookie powder (paprika)

• Separately, finely chop or rasper some onions (just like how you would grate cheese do the exact same to the onions).
• Braise the onions with taj sticks (check local spice shops, if you don't find you can use a bay leaf) and a green chilli in olive oil till the onions are golden.
• When the onions turn golden quickly add the mix you made of all the spices, stir a bit, pop the lid on and steam till the mix starts boiling.
• Than place the kababs you made in the pot directly on the the spice mix (make sure you fried them for a few mins in oil so they will be firm), do not stir just place them on top. You can add a bit more water if you see its drying up, don't drown the mix.
• Pop the lid on and leave to cook. Keep checking and after a while you can gently stir the kabaabs.
• 5 mins before taking of the stove and you see the mix is thick add a couple of tablespoons of yoghurt and leave to cook a bit.
• By this time your spaghetti should be draining, if you want to heat it up pop them on the stove just to heat up.
• Plating is easy place the spaghetti, place the kababs on top with some masala and garnish with coriander leaves.

So, this is a fusion recipe between a traditional desi (Indian) marinade and some new spices. Hope you enjoy, I will be showing sides that would go great with this dish, I didn't make the sides this time, I was cooking for my granny and myself and she doesn't eat the sides.

CAN BE SERVED WITH:

1. Crispy Salad and Chips 
2. Noodles 
3. White Rice
