Pistachio Chicken and Parathas

I know, it's been a long while since I last seemed to cook. In reality, I was actually cooking some of the same, so no need to let you know about that, right? Well, I was in the mood to cook and had a ton of pistachios which I never got around to just eating. So, I had to try this Pistachio chicken recipe that I had seen on another blog:

I pretty much follwed the directions, maybe using a bit more spices. But no major changes to it.

I decided that instead of rice, I would attempt to make Parathas to go with this dish. I followed the following recipe for Onion and Green Chile Parathas:

I followed the directions. This required MUCH more than the 1/4 c water. And it turned out not very doughy despite my attempts. But it tasted good flavor wise which means I will probably try to make this work better in the future.

But check out the food! I served it with Broccoli and Cauliflower, seasoned with cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, turmeric, garlic.




My friend said this was yummy and even had seconds! :)
