As Indians, we have always had a penchant for delicious barbecued delicacies such as chicken tandoori, mutton kebab, fish and paneer tikka. With international cuisines taking center stage, grilled food synonymous to the western world is gaining more and more prominence, as an appetizing and healthy alternative. However, the idea of preparing grilled meat, fish or vegetables is often seen as a cumbersome process, generally performed outdoors, and requires a lot of time and effort.
Did you know that there is a simpler alternative for savouring upon grilled food, within the comfort of your home? Yes, this is feasible with the use of non-stick grill pans (as illustrated in the picture below), that are readily available at kitchen appliance outlets.

What we love about this dish is the perfect balance between chilly and lemon. The garlic, sauces (soy and green chilli) blend seamlessly bringing about a tangy flavour that lingers on. Ching's Superior Dark soy sauce is recommended if you want the chicken to acquire a reddish brown colour. Using a non-stick grill pan helps retain the chicken's tenderness and succulence. Adding cornflour lends a thin crispy crust, making it a lip smacking starter.
