In my childhood on a hot sultry summer day my grandmother would serve me "Dahi Bhat". Dahi Bhat was a very cool and comforting meal with a little pickle beside it for the few elder kids. The taste of curds, milk, cream and salt mixed in the right proportions by the warm loving fingers of a grandmother's love was a treat we looked forward to. Today times have changed my granddaughters when they come to stay with me expect something fancy and 'hep' as they call it. I therefore have to devise new ways to present common food ingredients. They hate capsicum and salad leaves that goes under the title 'ghaas phus', so I avoided it, you can include that, it taste good and looks good.
Ingredients:
- 1 Garlic Bread.
- 1 chicken breast.
- 1 tomato.
- 1 cucumber.
- 1 onion.
- 1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- 1/2 carrot, 1 stem celery, 1/2 onion, 1bay leaf and chicken to be boiled together.
- In a bowl, shred the boiled chicken the stock can be used for clear soup.
- Slice tomatoes vertically, same with cucumber and onion.
- Mix chicken and vegetables, add balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper.
- Make a horizontal slit in the bread and make a pocket, do not separate it.
- Apply butter if you like.
- Place the stuffing.
- If you like, place salad leaves of your choice and roasted sliced capsicum.
- Cut into desired pieces and serve with a mix of mayonnaise and tomato chilli sauce.
Serve with a fruit juice of your choice.
