My husband had a Fan Fare Party at work and asked me to make some food for his office party.
I asked my hubby how about “Chicken & Paste Balti” and the answer was ‘perfect’ because I had made this once before.
They had a great party at work and everyone liked it.
Try it … I am sure you will like it as well.
Ingredients:
- Small Pasta Shells – 3 cups
- Chicken – 1 Lb
- Corn Oil – 5 tbsp
- Curry Leaves – 4
- Whole Dried Red Chillies – 4
- Onion – 1, large, sliced
- Garlic Pulp – 1 tsp
- Chili Powder – 1 tsp.
- Fresh Root Ginger – 1 tsp, shredded
- Pomegranate Seeds – 1 tsp, crushed
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Tomatoes – 2 medium, chopped
- Chickpeas – 2 cups, drained
- Corn – 1 cup
- Snow Peas – 1 Cup, diagonally sliced
- Fresh Coriander – 1 tbsp, chopped
- Tomato Ketchup – 1 Table Spoon
Method:
- Cook the pasta in boiling water, following the directions on the pack. Add 1 tbsp of the oil to the water to prevent the pasta from sticking together. When it is cooked, drain and set to one side in a sieve.
- Heat the remaining oil in a deep round frying pan and add the curry leaves, whole dried chillies and the onion. Fry for about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, ginger, pomegranate seeds, salt and tomatoes. Stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
- Next add the cubed chicken, chickpeas, corn and snap peas to the onion mixture. Cook over a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the pasta and stir well. Cook for a further 7-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with the fresh coriander.
- Serve it hot.
