To make srilankan curry powder- Dry roast equal quantity of cumin seeds, funnel seeds(sump), coriander & curry leaves in a pan, do not burn it, now grind everything in a coffee grinder in to a fine powder.

Sesame Chicken with red wine

Ingredients:Chicken-500g,sesame seeds- 5 tea spoons,turmeric- ½ tea spoon,chilli powder-3 tea spoons,salt t o taste,onions-250g,black pepper-3 tea spoons,cinnamon sticks-2,red wine -3 table spoons

Method:-*   Wash chicken & cut in to medium size pieces, place cut up chicken in a pot & add cinnamon, black pepper, chilli powder, turmeric powder, Salt to taste, red wine mix all together, allow it to marinate for 30 minutes or over night now add 1 cup of water & bring it to boil,heat oil in a deep fry pan & thro sliced onion in there, stir fry this until onion become translucent & then golden brown, when onion is done add boiled chicken pieces, you can throw out the marinade or can be used in a soup or vegetable or chicken stew, now continue to stir fry until chicken pieces turn in to greasy, now at this point sprinkle some sesame seeds over the chicken & turn down the heat. This is a healthier version of fried chicken. Usage of oil is comparably law with other deep fried chicken. This is my own creation. I am very fond of fried chicken but was feeling guilty each time i ate it so that wanted to create some kind of  fried chicken with minimal usage of oil...one day  i got an idea & that idea used in practice. That's how this chicken recipe created. You can always use that chicken marinade in different dishes like vegetable stew,  chicken stew, chicken curry ..do not waste instead preserve it in the refrigerator & use it latter.
