Quick and easy lunch recipes - broccoli soup

For all those stay at home people, cooking lunch might be the most boring thing to do especially because it just for you.
This is the time i try to experiment with food. My aim is to come up with the simplest and fastest and healthiest recipe which need not taste like million dollars but will keep me happy for the rest of the day.

I am veggie fan so all you meat lovers can replace my great veggies with your fave meat.

Today, i am making broccoli soup.

Ingredients:
1. Your fave Knorr ready-made powdered soups - Today i am using Chicken with leek
2. Broccoli

Put some water to boil in a small container while you boil broccoli in the microwave.
Add the soup contents to the boiling water. Since i have a big apetite, i use half the packet instead of one-fourths to make the soup). Keep stirring while adding and cook the soup in low heat for 5 mins.
Once smooth, add the broccoli and enjoy your soup.

You can also add carrots/beans any such veggies you like.
Ok i gotta go and have mine now.

So, 15 mins is all it takes to make the soup and write a post :)

Easiest Tandoori Chicken recipe

Some of my crazy experiments with food for better taste, convenience and health led me to this recipe.

Tandoori Chicken:

Chicken breasts (500gms)
turmeric (1/4 tsp)
red pepper (1/4 tsp)
coriander (1/4 tsp)
yogurt (1tsp)
ginger & garlic paste (1tsp)
salt to taste

Fresh coriander paste (2tsp - optional but adds a lot of flavour)

Make slight incisions on chicken breast on one side and mix the above ingredients. Leave it in the refrigerator for minimum of 2hrs (if you have time overnight is preferred).

Set the oven at 350 - 400 degs temperature. Cover the baking tray with aluminuim foil (for easy cleaning). Place the chicken breasts in the tray and bake them until cooked.

The cooking time varies depending on the size and thickness of the breasts. A set of 4 large chicken breasts can take upto 30 mins to bake.

This does not require any oil because chicken is an oily meat and that is also a sign of being cooked when you see the oil coming out of it. Same is true for oily fish such as Salmon and Tuna.
If you do not have an Oven, you can cook it in a skillet but with little oil.

Enjoy this dish for lunch with salad or for dinner with rice/veggies/pasta. Bon apetite!
