Oil free chicken recipe – healthy but tasty!
Chicken recipe without oil !! Yes, you are reading it correctly. Try this healthy, easy to cook yet so tasty oil free chicken recipe. I am tempted to name it – 5 minute oil free chicken recipe. I cooked this for lunch today and we enjoyed it with rice.
– Oil free chicken recipe
Many people tell me that if you are on a diet then you cannot enjoy all the tasty foods. Many believe that a fairly high quantity of spices are a must to prepare a tasty dish. Yet if you are health conscious you may prefer to have less spices and less oil. Well, thinking of this I have tried this recipe. I originally heard of this preparation from a friend of mine and cooked this today.
- Preparation time: 15 minutes
- Cooking time: 5 minutes
- Serves: 2
Ingredients required:
- NO oil (Remember this is a OIL FREE recipe)
- Chicken – 300 gms (I experimented it with a small quantity today for just a meal for two) – make the chicken into small pieces. I tried chicken with bone.
- Ginger paste – half teaspoon
- Garlic paste – one teaspoon
- Curd (Plain yogurt) – 3 or 4 tablespoon
- Salt – half teaspoon
- Sugar – half teaspoon
- Green Chili – 2 pieces – split each of them into two
- Onion – 1 medium size – slice into fine strips
- Green cardamom (choti elachi) – 2 pieces
- Cinnamon (dar chini) – 1 piece
- Bay leaf (tej patta)- 1 piece
- Chopped coriander leaves (dhania patta) – 1 small cup full
- Water – One and half to two cups
The easy method to cook oil free chicken in 5 minutes is here:
- Mix all the ingredients above (Do NOT add water now) with the chicken and marinade for 20 minutes
- Once marinade is done, put the chicken mix in the pressure cooker
- Add one and half to two cups of water
- Put it on high flame and make it blow 3 whistles
- Serve hot with rice
This is a new experiment I did at home. We liked it, so I shared with you. Let me know how you liked it. Feel free to add your comments below. If you like this, I plan to make more oil free recipes. I will post them once I succeed with the experiments of tasty oil free recipes.
Healthy eating !
