Grilled Lemon Chicken with Baked Potato Chips - Video Included

Back to the Kitchen grind for some of you!
Now whether you're back from your holiday or you're still out and about,
everyone always hates coming back with all the chores they have to do and still having to cook!
This recipe however is

very quick, easy and perfect for summer because it's light but filling.
If you're still out and about be sure to bookmark this for when you come back.

INGREDIENTS

- CHICKEN -

1 kg Chicken Fillet
2 tsps Salt
2-3 tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/4 cup Oil
2 Tb Lemon Zest (fine)
6 Tb Lemon Juice
2 Tb Dry Parsley
3-4 Garlic Cloves (finely chopped)
4 Green Chillies (finely chopped)

- POTATOES -

6 Medium Sized Potatoes
1-2 tsp Ground Fresh Black Pepper
2 tsps Salt
4 Tb Lemon Juice
2 Tb Lemon Zest
3-4 Cloves Garlic (finely chopped)
3 tsps Dry Parsley

METHOD

Firstly, cut your chicken fillet into strips.
Next, season your chicken with salt and ground black pepper.
With the oil (with the recipe it says 1/4 cup but I used a bit less) pan fry your chicken.
When your chicken has browned a bit remove from the pan.
Next, mix the next ingredients with your chicken; lemon zest, lemon juice, dry parsley, chopped garlic and chopped green chillies.
Now time to prep your potatoes, peel and cut them into chips.
Season with the spices listed above.
Now take a pyrex (oven) dish line with foil.
Layer the potatoes, followed by the chicken.
Add some blobs of butter and cover the chicken with another piece of foil.
Baked for 1 hour at 180 Degrees Celsius.
Serve with some fresh crisp salad, also don't worry if your chips will remain slightly firm once done but will be coated with a lemon butter sauce.

I hope you had an amazing year,

- Prawns 1/2 kg -

2 TB Peri-Peri Oil

3 TB Sweet Chilli Sauce

TIKKA PRAWNS RECIPE METHOD

* Please note the quantity is an estimation, I cook freehand,

but I put an estimation so my viewers may have a guideline.

Feel free to adjust according to you palette.

Make a marinade with the above ingredients and marinate the prawns.
Add blobs of butter.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Depending on the size of the prawns, you can grill the prawns in the oven or if they're bigger and butterflied throw them on the bbq/braai stand .
After grilling on a medium heat, few minutes before serving pour over the sauce, if the prawns are on the braai/bbq stand than use the sauce to baste.
Serve with onion rings or potato chips and a crisp salad.

That's it! Your spicy tikka prawns is ready for serving. This recipe is best served with the Apple and Lemon slushie recipe I shared before.

Enjoy and let me know what you think in the comment section below!

Blog, juice

Apple and Lemon Slushie

Okay I know most of my international viewers are probably looking at this title and pictures and thinking I'm crazy for sharing a homemade slushie at this time of the year!

But on my side of the world its SUMMER!!

That mean's we're melting and fresh home made juices or slushies is perfect right now.

Bookmark this for those in winter, when summer rolls around this is great to make

for the family especially for bbq's.

You can serve it as just a juice as well

if you're in a hurry.

Also if you serve as a juice you can add back a bit of the apple and lemon that was left from straining back into the juice and stir well.

This will bring some texture into the drink.

INGREDIENTS

3 Granny Smith Apples
3 Lemons
1/2 cup Passion Fruit Cordial
1/2 cup Lime Cordial
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 cup Granadilla Pulp

I prefer green apples over the red for the drink.
I also have tried different brands of cordials but I love the brand Rose's over the rest.
You can use fresh granadilla but you also get them prepacked in tins or tubs.

METHOD

Cube your apples with the peel but remove all seeds.
Liquidise the apples with 750ml water and strain.
Next cut the lemons with the peel again removing all the seeds.
Liquidise the chopped lemons in 750ml of water as well and strain.
Thereafter, combine the strained apple and lemon mixtures.
Add the sugar, both cordials and the granadilla pulp to the mixture and stir well.
Next freeze the mixture in a closed container till semi frozen.
Serve as slush and garnish with mint leaves.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and it refreshes you especially during a hot summer day.

With the holidays around the corner and family braais/bbqs this is a quick way to fill up that buffet table and also try something new.

We love trying new drinks out, this works best as both juice and slushie!

Please note this is not my recipe, I know it was shared by a lovely lady on a facebook food group.

The pictures are however mine.

bake, biscuits

Flake Biscuits

I am officially back my fellow foodies.

It's been a while, hajj was amazing but

I did missing trying new recipes and sharing them with you all.

Now these biscuits were trending a month or so back,

but you know me I don't rush when it comes to baking.

Anyway my lovely mummy whipped these up last night and really I see and can taste the hype!

*Warning* you need to snack at 2 at a time lol

INGREDIENTS

250g soft margarine/butter
1 cup icing sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2-3 flake chocolate (crumbled)
Flour (1 cup +)

Melted chocolate - garnish

* I know the flour amount is not specific, it just needs to me added slowly till the dough is soft. The amount in brackets is from an estimation my mum gave me from how much she used.

METHOD

Beat the margarine/butter and icing sugar till white.
Add the egg, cocoa powder and beat till it's mixed well.
Add the crumbled flake and mix again.
Next, add enough flour to make a soft dough.
Roll out the dough a little thick between wax paper.
Make a lot of lines with the back of a fork.
Measure exact flake size sticks and place on the tray.
Baked in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for around 20-25 minutes.
Drizzle melted chocolate over the biscuits after the biscuits have baked.

eid, eid decor

Eid al Fitr 2016 (Ramadan) Table Decor and Menu

EID MUBARAK!!!

Even though so many days have passed it's never to late to wish someone right?

Okay maybe it is...hmm well anyway

I hope you all had a blessed month of Ramadan and a happy Eid.

So you know I love doing this series,

and I'm quite annoyed I don't do more because we entertain A LOT!

Insha-Allah I think I will try to do this more often.

So a little detail on how we have Eid,

which starts out differently than some families.

So Eid morning is pretty hectic which is why 95% of the main table is done the night before,

and all that's left to put are the food platters.

[lol enjoy my hijab style I just draped it so casually because mumsie wanted to snap some 'behind the scenes' pictures lol]

This Eid we thought we would touch on the Arabian scene. Sigh I wasn't allowed to put up the hukas lol one-day. Anyway we popped on the table some of my granny's old gold Arabian Kettles (which for the life of me I cannot find the actual name for). I laid them out on a huge gold tray with some candles and flowers.

I wish I had taken more pictures of the whole table,

I thought I did actually!

Carrying on with the theme we chose red and gold table runners.

A lot of people ask how we have so many table decor items and more tips into buying.

We started with few items and we slowly built up our small collection, we still do actually.

We decide on a theme and go from there and obviously we keep those items.

Start off with simple colours and items that can be reused as many times as possible,

check for specials as well so you don't spend so much money!

Keep my eyes open all year round for cool vases, candles, all decor on sale that you can use for occasions.

(by the way if you are interested in seeing our storage and what we have please let me know)

All over the table I put up these mini chalk boards,

which are so cute and all the rave right now!

Awesome to have for parties when you have a buffet table laid out.

I like the bigger boards for drinks and the smaller ones for the actual food.

I put my sister's pun sort of humor to good use to write the boards out.

There's a lot of places to purchase them especially in South Africa.

If you're looking for a good deal and you don't mind buying online I will list some links:

SMALL BOARDS (10-12pcs) - Click Here or Click Here

Be sure to also check out craft stores as well they can be found there or

you can make your own as well.

I chose the sesame seed bread sticks from woolworths,
they're so yummy!

BREAD-STICKS - click here

Now some of you may think soup? really in summer?

lol on my side of the world Eid was in winter

so yes our fasts were pretty easy Alhamdulillah.

I came up with a fun way to serve the soup,

I thought why not serve them in a cup its simple, sleek, filling and will warm you up.

Also let's break out the fancy bread sticks!

First time I tried them with soup and I must say I'm a fan.

The entire box was finished...most by my dad's snacking! lol

Also the cups are a great way to serve traditional hot milk or khir at occasions

- desi people know what I am talking about lol

Okay I had to make the table a bit more fun!

Mum whipped up some bubble gum milkshake (if you want the recipe let me know),

which obviously we had to serve in these small milk bottles!

How cute another table decor trend which I shall leave purchase links to down below:

MINI MILK BOTTLES - click here or click here

Jar of sweets of course!

TIP:

To create more dimension to your main table and to display some food trays or dishes,

pop some different sized boxes under the table cloth.

May sure everything looks neat and it's stable before placing what you want to on top.

For example that is what we did to this side of the table.

So I touched on a new way of serving,

I thought it would be nice to serve the savouries like fancy appetizers.

I won't deny I got this idea last year when I attended a makeup class lol

but I thought it was so cute and so easy and now Insha-Allah for next Ramadan I will go full into serving this way.

(I said next Ramadan because the next Eid I shall be in hajj Insha-Allah).

So in these reusable plastic bowls (which are mostly used for desserts) I popped some yoghurt and green chilli chutney inside and placed a chicken nibble to rest on the side.

PLASTIC DESSERT BOWLS - click here or click here or click here

CHICKEN NIBBLES - Recipe Link

We had out chicken breadrolls, lemon butter kebabs, poori with two types of chicken [mayo and tandoori].

LEMON BUTTER KEBABS - Recipe Link

Savouries was very light, our family is very small and guests come for such a short time that we just top up on the table whenever it finishes. Also we were invited out for a tea party after lunch so we didn't have a tea table this Eid.

By the way this cute small pail I used for the yoghurt and green chilli chutney is from the craft shop. I haven't seen it being sold anywhere but online you can find it here. I actually have three; gold, white and silver.

Can't be an Eid table without some Kajoor (dates) and Zam Zam.

If you know my granny personally you will get the chalk board joke.

Anyway mum did an awesome thing with the dates,

she actually garnished it with some pistachios and gold glitter!

LUNCH TIME!

I swear the day flew by soo quickly!

Now I know usually people like to have biryani lol but we like to have prawns!

We had salad, onion rings, traditional spicy garlic and lemon prawns and also stuffed steak!

ONION RINGS - Recipe Link

lol there was more onion rings mum was frying them up and I wanted to take a picture quickly!

If you would like to see the recipe of this than stay tuned I will be publishing it soon!

PRAWNS & SALAD - Recipe Link

The mini baskets which I served the onion rings in I bought from someone in SA if you would like the info please let me know.

Here are other online sellers you can get them from,

this is another decor trend especially in restaurants serving fried chips in them!

MINI CHIP BASKET - click here or click here

Always remember to garnish your food either with parsley or coriander!

It makes everything look so yummy and presentable,

we eat with our eyes first lol that's why we end up dishing out soo much!

I do hope you enjoyed this post and it inspired you for your next occasion.

If you like these sort of posts do let me know and I will do more themes and menus.
Also I have up what I wore for Eid and my makeup breakdown,

food diary, milestone

200k Milestone

I cannot even believe I hit 200k views...in less than 2 years!
I'm so speechless!!!!!
Alhamdulillah (praise to Allah).

Woah!
It blows my mind.
Spicy Fusion Kitchen has come a long way
and in the 2 years that I have been blogging, sharing recipes, videos,
trying to build a good solid following for my site has hard and probably will always be
and will continue to be I feel so proud and blessed right now.

Blogging is so difficult
and those that have blogs will understand.
Every post is a struggle to get views and pass the word around.
As the following builds the struggle becomes less and views just come on their own.

That is how my blog is now Alhamdulillah,
I remember I would cry over this and want to give up but I just didn't.
I have been featured on other sites,
I have been on the radio before.
I have hit small goals and milestones in this journey
and I am beyond proud at how far I come.

I just want to give a huge thank you
to all my subscribers, followers and viewers from all over the world.
The sweet messages and comments I receive on a daily basis,
the recognition,
the praise,
just spotting me in public or talking good about me and the words coming back to me
really makes me feel so loved and motivated.
I would never have come this far if it wasn't for you
and that's a fact!
I really hope my blog grows even more,
that I can share more and do more.
I pray that a good way keeps opening up,
that I never stop and that who ever tries the recipes I share have a smile on their faces.

Thank you for all the support
I really do feel so blessed.
Please remember me in your prayers,
you are all in mine.
I love you all so much :)
