1 TB lemon juice
1 TB oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. coriander, ground
1 clove garlic, minced
1 small piece ginger, minced
Indian Rice
(I double this, too. The leftovers are grand.)
1 C Basmati rice
2 C water
1 tsp cumin seed
1 small onion (I use large)
1 TB oil
Cliantro Chutney (Fabulous!)
1 bunch cilantro
1 small onion

1-5 jalapeno peppers (1 is enough for me.)
(I love to add 1 small piece of ginger, too)
Recipe
Chicken
Mix all ingredients in large container. Keep in refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Oil a large skillet (We use an electric roaster. A wok would work.), and cook the chicken mix on high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Turn heat to med. and cover, cooking for another 5-8 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Serve over rice (or in pita bread), and with green chutney (recipes below).
Rice
Wash rice 2-3 times. Soak 15-20 minutes. Cut onion in long pieces. Put oil in large pot and heat. Add cumin seeds, then onions, and let it brown. (I like to do this on medium heat, so the onions carmelize a little--awesome!) Add water and rice, bring to boil. Turn heat to medium, cover pot halfway. After 5 minutes, cover pot and cook for 5-8 minutes. Turn heat off and let stand for next 10-15 minutes.
Cilantro Chutney
Wash cilantro and cut into pieces. Peel onion and cut into pieces. Blend all in blender or food processor until smooth. (Optional, instead of cilantro, use mint or a mix of the two.)
