hello people,

i am back, and that too pretty much early. though the laziness in me continues to be, but the craving for a good tiffin is much more. i want people to keep on guessing that whats new today?? and for myself, that i keep on waiting for the lunch hour to arrive(though these days, i kind of doing that only in office). but time is pretty less to prepare a proper meal. so i go for things, which are easy & yet yummy.

since the biggest festival of the bong's is around & its time for all of us to get decked up, i however is not very sure of that. a big reason is my receding hairline & increasing waistline. so i decided to follow the remaining 15days in a healthy way (though i don't know i well i will b able to manage). this recipe is a salad, as you can see.  but what you don't know is that it's damn easy and tasty 2..... and what adds to it is that it not only tastes good, but does good 2 u as well. it is filling & enough for feeding more than 2 people well. here goes the recipe for all you lovely people:

iNGReDIANTs:

• fish sauce............................................................................................. 4 tbsp
• lemon juice........................................................................................... 2 limes
• brown sugar......................................................................................... 1 tbsp

after its cooked

mETh0D:

• steam the veggies.
• marinate the chicken breasts in ginger-garlic paste, chilli flakes, green chutney (a bit), lemon juice, coriander powder & keep aside for 20mins. then grill it and cook in the oven for 6-7mins @170degree C.
• mix fish sauce, lime juice & brown sugar in a bowl. put the sliced onions in this dressing. toss & rest for 10mins.
• shred the grilled chicken breasts & add to the mixture. 
• add rest of the ingrediants to this mixture. toss well.
• serve.

well, i had added 1tbsp water & few drops of extra virgin olive oil in this dressing. one can also go for toasted seasme seed oil to get the oriental flavour , and one can also top it with toasted seasme seeds. you can also add some other veggies of your choice, pomgranate seeds also go well with this. even green apple and dry fruits for the crunch and to make it wholesome..

so that's it guys.... try please. will be back with more soon....
