Sabooni Halwa

1.5 glasses sugar
0.5 kilo maida flour
250 g suji
4 laichee
almonds



Sift the maida and suji together. Add water and mix, making sure it's completely smooth. It should be a liquid consistency.

Heat sugar with water and laichee to a boil. Add ghee???? Mix continuously to ensure it doesn't burn until a thick syrup forms.

Meanwhile, boil almonds. When cooled, peel the almond skins off. Get raisins.

Then add the maida and suji mixture to the ghee while stirring. Mix in almonds and raisins. Continue to stir until halwa consistency is achieved.

Chicken Salan

Heat saucepan on high with 2 splashes of canola oil. Add 2 medium onions, diced, and sautee until they just start to turn brown. Add 4 cloves of garlic and a small shaving of ginger. Stir together. Now add 1 tomato, diced, along with a splash of haldi, splash of chili powder, 1 tsp salt and a splash of water. Mix all the ingredients together. Next add 1/2 a chicken (about 2 lbs), cleaned and cut into pieces. Next add 1 lychee, 4 cloves ("long"), a little bit of zeera, whole black pepper. Simmer and wait for the water to evaporate. Add 2-3 tbsp of plain yogurt (make sure to stir the yogurt beforehand to ensure its smooth). Now continue to cook the chicken. The water should evaporate and you will begin to see the oil in the pan. Once you do, stir the chicken well and add 1 cup of water so the gravy doesn't burn. Add more water for more gravy. Simmer for 5-10 minutes and you're done!
