Bun, chicken, caramelized onions and egg; the thickest friends you can find in the food group.
They compliment each other so well that you can freaking shoot Dil Chahta Hai 2 starring them.
Okay! enough dramebazi, this dish is actually known as Bun Narche which literally translates to bun stuffed. Thalassery (the city I belong to in Kerala) is proud of this creation and delightfully served it to thousands of their guest.
Hence,I wanted to share the recipe with you all, which is by the way one of my favourite things to eat and to cook.
Hope you'll enjoy this.
Ingredients:
Chicken - 4/5 boneless pieces
Pav bun - 6 (you can use any plain bun)
Boiled egg - 3
Raw Egg - 2
Onion - 1 (large)
Ginger
Garlic
Green chillies
Coriander leaves
Red chilli powder
Coriander powder
Turmeric powder
Garam masla
Black pepper powder
Salt
Oil
Method:
Coat chicken in half tsp red chilli powder, one-fourth tsp turmeric powder and salt. Cook it by adding some water. Shred the chicken once cooked and keep the residue chicken water for later.
In a kadai, take some oil and saute onions, ginger, garlic and chillies well.
Add one tsp red chilli powder, half tsp garam masala, half tsp coriander powder, half tsp black pepper powder, one-fourth tsp turmeric powder and salt. Cook for 3 minutes.
Add in the shredded chicken, coriander leaves and the residue chicken water. Don't add too much water, the masala shouldn’t be runny. Cook it for 4-5 minutes and let it cool down completely.
Pinch a hole on the bottom part of the bun and create a cavity by pushing the bun to its walls with your fingers. Be gentle, make sure you don't tear the bun.
Stuff the bun with half boiled egg and the chicken masala you prepared.
Crack open 2 egg in a bowl and throw in some salt, black pepper powder and chopped coriander leaves. whisk it well.
Coat the stuffed bun in egg mix, make sure the last side should be the open side of the bun.
Shallow fry the bun, open part being the first side to hit the pan, that will help to seal the stuffing inside the bun. Fry all sides till golden brown.
Serve it hot and trust me you won't regret making this. This is a very common dish in Thalssery, especially during the Ramadan month.
Give it a try and let me know how it turned out for you.
Thank you.🖤
