Been over a month with no gluten or grains. I do this every few months to reset insulin levels boost metabolism and just general feel goods. Anyway I tend to break the fast of sorts with a Chapati dish since I love them and am amazing at Cheffin them up 😛

 

Here are the ingredients I purchased today.

Bullet Peppers – 6 ksh

kg of wheat flour – 50 ksh

Ghee – 300 ksh

3 bulbs of Garlic – 55 ksh

1 Chicken Breast – 325 ksh

bunch of Spinach – 30 ksh

Red Onion – 5 ksh

total 771 ksh ( $ 8.40)

I was going to go with cabbage but I am glad they did not have it, switching to Spinach was a good choice. The second image is the actual amount of veggies used (total ingredients used is down to about $ 4.50, it is really worth your time to learn how to cook). This will to be a conventional recipe post but more of an inspiration one for those interested in trying new combinations.

 

First I heated water, added some salt, begun to knead the dough and then added the Ghee. I prefer The dough to sit for at least 30 minutes, before partitioning them, and going to secondary prep.

I will feature Chapati in a post of its own.

After the dough has been prepped I thinly chopped the Spinach, onion, garlic and peppers, cubed half of the yellow bell pepper, cut and brined the chicken (lil vinegar, black pepper, paprika and salt in water) and put them in the fridge.

 

cooking is fun, but running multiple things at once should be done with some level of prior experience. I steamed the spinach with salt and a pinch of baking soda/bicarbonate of soda (Cheffin’ it tip : this keeps greens green).

I placed a separate pan on low heat, drizzled in some ghee and placed 2 crushed garlic cloves in it. (Cheffin’ it tip: This infuses garlic flavour into the oil. You will discard the cloves before adding the chicken)

Once the chicken has cooked through I added the chopped garlic and let it fry for a minute or so before adding the spinach and letting that simmer. I then added the onions and peppers mixed it and let it cook for a few minutes then lastly added the bell peppers.

It was Nom. As I said I will most likely post directions for Chapatis on a later date.
