Dry Chicken Chilli

Ingredients for marination

250 grams boneless chicken
½ tbsp. chilli sauce
½ tbsp. soya sauce
¼ tsp pepper powder
¾ tsp. vinegar
2 tbsps. Corn flour
¼ tsp. red chili powder
Salt little
1 egg white for ½ kg chicken (optional)

Seasoning

¾ tbsp. soya sauce
1 tsp chilli sauce
½ tsp. red chilli powder
½ tsp. sugar

Veggies

1 small onion thinly sliced
¾ tbsp. garlic
¼ cup  capsicum
1 to 2 green chilies slit and deseeded
1 sprig of spring onion chopped (optional)
4 to 5 leaves of celery chopped finely (optional)
Spring onions for garnish

Method

Marinate chicken with chilli sauce, soya sauce, pepper powder and vinegar. Set aside for at least 45 minutes. 2 hours is best. Meanwhile you could chop your onions,capsicum and make the sauce ready for seasoning.
Sprinkle the flours on the chicken along with salt and mix well. Add chili powder. If you wish to use egg, you can add it now. Mix well.
Prepare the sauce .Add ¾ tbsp. soya sauce, 1 tsp. chili sauce, ½ tsp. red chili powder and ½ tsp sugar (optional) to a bowl and mix well.
Heat oil in a pan and deep or shallow fry till the chicken is done. Keep stirring to fry evenly. Do not over fry, it tends to turn hard. It can also be grilled at 240 C for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated oven for a healthier version.
Remove off excess oil from the pan, just keep 2 spoons oil in the pan. Add garlic fry for about a min, add onions, capsicum, spring onions, and celery and green chilies and fry till they turn slightly soft for about a minute or so.
Pour the sauce that was prepared at step 3. Let the sauces bubble up well.
Add the fried chicken, saute on high flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve chilli chicken hot as appetizer with fried rice or noodles.

Tip: If your chicken is not tender, you can even soak it in buttermilk for 45mins to 2 hours. It tenderizes the meat very well. drain off completely and use.

Strawberry Cake

Ingredients:

5 eggs
Granulated sugar 3/4 cup
cake flour 1 cup (u can use plain flour)
baking powder 1 tbsp
Sugar water: 250 ml water, 10 oz (284 grams) sugar, boil, allow to cool.this will use to softened the cake after slicing.
Whole and sliced strawberries

Serving size:

8 inch (20 cm) round cake
Equipment:
1/2 sheet tray, 8 inch (20 cm) round cake pan, doily, parchment paper, 8 inch (20 cm) and 10 inch (25 cm) round cardboard, spatulas, pastry brush, serrated knife, and jug of hot water.

Method

1. Using a sifter or strainer, sift all your dry ingredients and combine together in a separate bowl.

2. Place your eggs in the mixing bowl, then pour your sugar on top and begin mixing with your stand mixer on low speed. You can also use a hand-held mixer but your mixing times and speeds may vary.

3. Gradually increase your speed every 2 to 3 minutes starting at speed 2 to speed 10. You will be mixing approximately 10 to 15 minutes in total until your mixture has become fluffy and creamy and risen more than half way up your bowl. This is also a good time to preheat your oven to 400F (200C).

4. Add your sifted dry ingredients to the egg and sugar mixture one tablespoon at a time until it is well incorporated. This is done at low speed and once all the dry ingredients have been incorporated you will increase your speed slowly up to speed 9 for a minute.

5. Take your 8 inch round cake pan and place parchment paper on the bottom of the pan so your cake will not stick to the bottom of the pan. Also spray the sides of the 8 inch cake pan with oil or butter. I use coconut oil and it works great and the cake never sticks to the pan.

6. Pour your white cake batter along the outer edges of your cake pan and then fill the center. This will help with having an even and balanced cake. Use a spatula to get all the batter out from the mixing bowl. Allow the batter to sit for 1 to 2 minutes so it becomes completely even in your cake pan.

7. At this time the oven should be at 400F for about 15 minutes. Once you place the cake batter into the oven you will reduce your heat to 375F (190C) and allow to bake for about 25 minutes.

8. Make sure you do not over bake your cake, because it will turn out to be dry instead of moist and spongy. At about 25 minutes check the white cake with butter knife or stick a toothpick in it to see if it comes out clean. If clean your cake is ready, if there are some batter on it give it a couple more minutes.

9. Allow cake to cool in the pan. Once cooled you can flip the cake onto a rack and peel off the parchment paper than flip it back again. It is now ready to be cut and decorated. If you are not decorating the cake right away you can store it in the refrigerator and make sure you cover it with plastic so it does not dry out.

For the whip Cream

3 cups heavy cream(double cream or whipping cream)
4 tbsp sugar granulated or powder (both works)
Vanilla essence 1 tsp

Method:
TIP:
First put ur bowl and whisk in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes before u start whipping the cream.. And cream should be chilled in the fridge not in the freezer.. it will help to whip the cream soon
Now start beating the cream when it starts thicken then add sugar and beat it until soft peaks and then add vanilla after that be careful dont whisk it for long time just beat it until it start becoming stiff peaks and stop the beater and mix it for 2 to 3 time with hand whisk it will prevent to curdle ur cream..and if unfortunately it happens than add little bit more cream and beat it for few seconds and decorate ur cake and enjoy super duper delicious soft and spongy cake .
