for a not so Indian palate

 griddle /तवा  sizzler

when i had to shift from Delhi I had to leave back almost all of gadgets from kitchen except for a few basic essentials...Korea is not a place where we decide to settle so had to restrict my buying but I had to find ways of retaining the flavors of my kitchen....sizzlers are a hot favorite in dinner menu and since its easy and not time consuming I was experimenting with a few alternatives. it just stroke me the other day,while frying tadka for panchmeli dal, why not try out Sizzler in the roti tawa?and it worked wonder !!!! the taste was absolutely perfect with the chicken grilled lying in a bed of fresh salads and fume.

well I tried it with chicken breast but anything can go in the sizzler plate from steak to sausages or tofu as per your choice...


all that we need

1. Chicken breast/Steak/Tofu
2. Steak Sauce
3. Vegetables as per your choice; I use Iceberg Lettuce, Cucumber,Bell Pepper,Carrot,Onion
4. Boiled potato and green peas (i use this as a replacement of  traditionally served french fries)
5. Mayonnaise,coarsely ground black pepper,parsley, ginger garlic paste.
6. Lemon Juice 
7. Butter

and then 

Marinade the chicken/ tofu with mayonnaise,coarsely ground black pepper,parsley, ginger garlic paste.Leave aside for at least an hour.

Grill the Chicken/ Sausage/Tofu. In the mean while put your tawa or griddle on flame and let it heat up.

In a pan put a little butter, saute for a while the mashed potato and green peas .

Prepare the vegetables...you can either grill or dress with your favorite dressing. 

Now that your tawa is ready put a dash of butter,to it add the steak sauce.You will see the flame and nice fume on the tawa.....add chicken put a dash of lemon juice to retain the fume ...serve with the boiled potato and pea casserole and vegetables.
