Doing a 'freezer clean out', we made a marvellous version of this with 1 [[chicken]] breast and a bag of cooked red kidney beans.  The chicken was thinly sliced and sautéed with lots of crushed [[garlic]] and the kidney beans fried with the chicken and mashed down a little - rather like [[re-fried beans]].  This was added in place of the normally cooked chicken in this recipe.

This variation of Murghi roti was inspired by User:Apples - he loved his fruity food!



Murghi roti , (murghi ruti, chicken roti, chicken ruti): (rice cake with chicken) is a South Indian style dish made with cooked rice, cooked chicken and lots of spices.

This recipe only differs from the original by the addition of 200 ml of coconut milk instead of normal milk. Oh, and its accompaniment - nectarines. A fantastic meal.

Doing a 'freezer clean out', we made a marvellous version of this with 1 chicken breast and a bag of cooked red kidney beans. The chicken was thinly sliced and sautéed with lots of crushed garlic and the kidney beans fried with the chicken and mashed down a little - rather like re-fried beans. This was added in place of the normally cooked chicken in this recipe.

A better way of cooking this

After making variants of this for many years, I've discovered the best method of cooking is to spread the ingredients out on a lightly greased baking tray and bake at 220° C (425° F - gas 7) for 35 minutes, stirring up the contents every 10 minutes. It might be an idea with a meat other than crayfish, to add the meat (or prawns) for the last 10 minutes so they don't dry out.

Chef's notes

Steamed chicken works well in this recipe - Follow the Chinese style steamed chicken using a quartered onion and a handful of fresh herbs instead of the Chinese ingredients.

Peeling ginger

There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
