Wisdom for Joy

There is no real recipe for joy, but helpful wisdom do exist. Following the right wisdom as recipe do help cultivate joy.

Wisdom for joy

Do what feels right for you, regardless of what others say. This is not reckless or arrogance but essential for your joy. It’s not your job to please everyone or expecting yourself to be perfect.

Rest often as necessary. Prioritize your well-being. Enjoy your food without guilt. Listen to your body. Get outside. Establish healthy boundaries. Give yourself permission to need others. Seek out the places and the people that make you feel most alive.

METHOD
 
Deseed dried red chillies and put into a mixer jar. Add garlic, ginger, rice, 2 tbsps lemon juice, salt and grind. Add 10-12 curry leaves and continue to grind to a smooth paste.

Put the paste into a large bowl, add chicken pieces and yogurt and mix well. Add remaining lemon juice and mix till the masala coats all the chicken pieces well.

Chop remaining curry leaves and add to the chicken and mix and set aside to marinate for 2-3 hours. Heat oil in a non stick pan. Roll the chicken pieces in refined flour, shake off extra flour and place in the pan and cook on medium heat till the underside is lightly browned.

Turn over and cook till the other side is similarly cooked. Chop coriander leaves and add to the chicken. Sprinkle a little water, reduce heat, cover and cook for 7-8 minutes.

Serve hot garnished with onion rings, thin strips of green, red and yellow capsicums.
