Chicken Sandwich

Making the filler for a quick chicken sandwich is also very simple if you have pressure cooker and a food processor. I am sure there are thousand and one different recipes for this. I am jotting down the one taught to me by an ex-senior colleague, Mr Pradeep Bagchi.

Boil the raw chicken in plain water in a pressure cooker for something like 15 minutes. I have never counted the number of whistles because they are endless. But 15 minutes on the average oven is about it. The idea is to make it so soft that it comes off the bones on its own.

Let the pressure cooker cool. Take the meat off the bones and keep them ready for the next step.

Heat some edible palm oil in a pan. Saute the chopped onion, garlic, ginger, chopped green chillies and chopped tomato. Add salt to taste. Stir it well and add the pieces of chicken. Add some water and take it off the oven after a very short time. The water should be just about enough to moisten it up. I use the water from the pressure cooker that was used to boil the chicken.

 After cooling the chicken for some time put it in a food processor and grind it well. Make sure it is a little moist and not totally dry otherwise the blade will hardly move. Your main raw material for chicken sandwich is now ready. Just put it between two pieces of bread and eat.

You can also use it for making chicken chop. Just make a flattish cake of it and fry it in palm oil. I am sure biscuit crumbs and battered egg can also be used to make cutlets out of this. I haven't done it myself. But can't see why it cannot be made.
