  4. Marinate the chicken well and keep it in fridge for atleast 2 hours.
  5. Then take a heavy bottom wok and put the marinated chicken in it.
  6. Cook first few minutes at high flame then reduce the heat.
  7. Cover completely & allow to cook in medium to low heat for 40 minutes.
  8. Heat a charcoal in flame.

  10. Put the hot charcoal in a metal bowl and then place in the chicken.
  11. Drizzle little oil in hot charcoal to make the smoke.
  12. Cover the wok completely so that no smoke can escape.
  13. Keep it for  5 minutes.
  14. Take out the charcoal and serve it hot with steamed rice.
  15. Drizzle little mustard oil before serving.
  16. Garnish with green chilli but it is optional.



My Tip: 

  • Mustard seeds always should be ground with salt , it will prevent to get it bitter. 
  • In this preparation we don't need to stir between the cooking. It will be cooked properly with its steam. Just cover it always, don't open.
  • This cooking should be slow cooking process.
  • Green chilli can be adjusted as per taste.
  • If your green mango is too sour, you can add more sugar  to balance as per taste .

Its the time to soak dry fruit in alcohol(dark Rum/ whisky/ Brandy/ red wine). Traditionally, dry fruit should be soaked 3 months before the Christmas. But at least 1 month soak is very necessary to make dry fruit juicy. In classic Christmas cake, juicy dry fruits are the main ingredients. Here you can use any dry fruits whatever you get. Other ingredients like flour is just used to bind dry fruits and nuts. My Christmas celebration can't be complete without traditional Christmas cake. We will bake the cake in next month at least a week before from Christmas. After baking, the last step is feeding the cake.

If you don't want to use alcohol, instead of this you can use ora...
