CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS IN MUSHROOM & OYSTER SAUCE

  •  I suppose chicken is every body's favourite dish, there are so many ways the bird can be prepared and it takes so little time to do it. Also the basic ingredients are the same for pork & turkey and you can add condiments according to your taste.


  • 10-12 Fresh chicken drumsticks (with or without skin). Trim the fat.
  • 1 large red onion-chopped
  • 1 large tomatoe chopped
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic-finely chopped
  • 3cm fresh ginger-finely chopped
  • 1 red Bell pepper choped in sticks (you can use red, yellow & green peppers. 1/2 of each to give it more colour).
  • 4 cardammams, 4 cloves & 1cm.cinnaman stick grinded) or onr teaspoon garam masala powder.
  • 1tblspoon coriander powder
  • 1tablspoon cumin powder
  • 1teaspoon turmeric (haldi) powder 
  •  Olive Oil for frying
  • In a large pan stir fry the above ingredients for 2-3 minutes and add chicken drum sticks. (chicken, pork or turkey breast). fry them for 10 minutes on high heat, moving them constantly, so that the juices are sealed and the chicken remains tender. Now lower the fire and add the remaining ingredients listed below and keep on stirring the contents, so that onions and tomatoes become soft and blend as a thick sauce.

  • fresh mushrooms (optional)
  • 4tbl spoons soya sauce
  • 4tbl spoonful mushroom sauce,
  • 4tbl spoonful oyster sauce,
  • 1tbl spoon crushed black pepper, 
  • 1tbl spoon each coriander and cumin powder
  •  salt to taste
  • 150ml. fresh cream
  • 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
  • 2 hard boiled eggs to garnish (optional).
Simmer the pan for a few more minutes and adde fresh cream, stir in well so that all the contents are well blended and chicken is ready to eat. Garnish it with fresh coriander leaves and eat it with boiled or fried rice, crusty bread or nan bread, boiled potatoes. Choice is yours.
