Its been quite a gap since i last posted a recipe. So, here is another favourite recipe of irfaan, sesame chicken. Its a light and easy chicken dish to be eaten with brown rice. My hubby eats only chicken, so i tend to search and make recipes calling for it most of the time. Surely, i will post mutton, paneer and vegetarian too.
One of the main ingredient in this dish is sesame and it is called by it too. Sesame or safed til as u call in india . Half a cup of sesame seeds contains three times more calcium than half a cup of whole milk. In addition to being an excellent dietary source of calcium, sesame seeds are also a good source of manganese, copper, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1 (thiamin), zinc, vitamin E, healthy protein, and fiber.
Sesame seeds also contain sesamin and sesamolin, two substances that are thought to prevent high blood pressure and protect the liver against oxidative damage.
Lets move on to the recipe
Ingredients:
Brown rice 3/4 cup
Honey 3 tbsp
Sesame seeds 2 tbsp
Soya sauce 2 tbsp
