Greetings,

Assalamu Alaikum. How are you? I hope everyone is well by the grace of Allah. I am well, Alhamdulillah.I am very excited to participate in Learning Challenge Season 23/Week#4. Through this learning challenge I am able to learn about the cuisines of different countries. Many thanks to @suboohi for organizing such a beautiful learning challenge #globalcuisine-s23w4.

Bangladeshi food has many similarities with Pakistani food. Different types of Pakistani food are very popular in Bangladesh and there are many restaurants serving Pakistani food. I myself like to eat Pakistani food. My favorite foods include Biryani, Kebab, Naan, Haleem. These foods are very popular and widely sold foods all over Bangladesh. A popular hotel in Bangladesh is "Hazi Biryani" which is famous all over Bangladesh for its special Beef Tehari. Dessert items include Lassi, Rasmalai. Lassi, Rasmalai are very popular among dessert lovers.

Today I am going to cook Pakistani cuisine (chicken Kodai ) . It took me about approx 45 minutes complete this recipe. So let's start cooking.

Steps

Step- 1

I washed the chicken well and cut it into pieces. Once the chicken is washed, I put the chicken in a strainer to drain the water.

I will put a pan on the stove and let the oil heat up. When the oil is hot, I will drop the chicken pieces into the oil and fry them lightly. When the chicken is a little fried, I added the green chilies to the chicken. I mixed the green chilies and chicken well.

I mixed the green chilies and chicken well and lightly mixed them. I added the ginger and garlic paste. I mixed the ginger and garlic paste with the chicken well.

Step- 2

I mixed the ginger and garlic well with the chicken.Now I added other spices like salt, chili powder, coriander powder to the chicken.

Step- 3

Then I added the tomato paste I had previously made into a paste. I mixed the chicken and tomato paste well.

In the mean time I add cumin seeds and chilli fleaks.

Step- 4

Then I added the yogurt that I had previously drained and added to the chicken. I mixed the yogurt well with the chicken and covered it with a lid. When the oil separates from the spices, I added chopped coriander leaves and chopped ginger. My chicken kadai is now cooked. Now I will serve it in a bowl.

★★Final presentation★★

My delicious chicken is ready to serve.My chicken kadai smelled so good.I will definitely try cooking chicken kadai like this next time and enjoy it with my family.

In our country (Bangladesh) chicken is cooked in different ways.Bangladeshi cuisine has many similarities with Pakistani cuisine. Chicken kadai has many similarities with chicken bhuna of Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, chopped coriander is often not used in chicken bhuna. Chicken bhuna and chicken kadai have many similarities with all other spices.It’s taste was amazing.

I think the taste and aroma of a dish depends on the spices used in the dish. Pakistan's cuisine uses a variety of spices. These spices create a different aroma in the dish. I like different types of spices, and cumin is one of my favorite spices. Cumin brings a different flavor to the dish. I try to use a little cumin in almost all my dishes.I also like cinnamon, black pepper,clove.
