Simple Cooking

This a somewhat oriental themed Chicken recipe that I concocted myself. Its not too complex and can be managed easily and has a light taste unlike the more full blooded Indian recipes. The aroma of Lemongrass is very refreshing and gives the recipe a very light summery taste and feel. Goes well with rice.

This is what you need:

4-5 chicken legs
juice of 1-2 lemons
1 tsp ginger paste
1 tsp garlic paste (if using ginger garlic combined paste, just use 2tsp in total)
salt - to taste
pepper - to taste
2 tsp honey
oil - for shallow frying
4-5 tbsp water
a bunch of fresh lemon grass

This is how to cook it:

Marinate the chicken in lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt and pepper for 2 hours. After that, heat some oil (2tbsp) in a non stick pan, add the marinated chicken marinade stir for a few minutes.Drop in the lemon grass, mix and add the water. Cover and simmer for about 20 mins or till done. Now add the honey, mix well and cover again for a few minutes.

Serve with a lemon wedge.
