Mummy’s Chicken by Rachna Dheer of Babu Kitchen in Glasgow
Chef Rachna Dheer and creative director Gail Finlayson started Babu Kitchen 6 years ago. We serve a big range of dishes at Babu Kitchen from breakfasts such as Bhurji Pau (spicy scrambled eggs in a Mortons roll) to Roast Chicken Masala Nanwiches and street food such as Bhel Puri (spicy, crunchy, rice Krispies). We also do evening set meals and Thali's all made with the freshest seasonal ingredients, no added preservatives and a low oil content.
Here is a great healthy family recipe which we serve at Babu Kitchen.

Ingredients: Serves 4
5 onions (chopped)
10 green chillies (grind in the blender)
200g ginger (grind in the blender)
200g of garlic (grind in blender)
2.5kg boneless chicken legs
1 x 500g of passata
Spice mix:
20g coriander seeds
20g cumin seeds
5g black cardamom
5g cloves
10g black pepper
5g cinnamon
Method:
1. To make the spice mix roast the dry spices in a dry frying pan until they change in colour. Then grind the dry spices with a pestle and mortar until a powder like consistency. Set aside.
2. Heat a medium to large pot and add in the chopped onion.
3. Let onions brown then add in the ginger and the chilli paste and let it brown also.
4. Next, add in the garlic paste and cook for a further 10 mins until browned.
5. Now add in the chicken pieces and mix the chicken with the onion Masala thoroughly.
6. Add Mummy’s spice mix and sea salt to taste. Mix thoroughly so that every bit of chicken is covered in the Mummy’s mix.
7. Cook for 15/20 mins until the chicken is cooked then add in the passata and cook for a further 30/45 mins with a lid on the pot until the chicken is cooked completely.
8. Serve with homemade roti, garnish with freshly cut lime, fresh coriander, and red onion.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
