So, the other day when my LO got some chicken legs from Saray market(a turkish shop), I thought of making some grilled chicken legs as an accompaniment to a glass of lemonade. Instead of making plain tandoori chicken I thought of giving the chicken a coriander flavor.. It took longer than I expected to cook- but once cooked, the chicken was soft and delicious. We were out of lemon, but I’m sure some lemon juice on top would have made an excellent appetizer. And the glass of chilled lemonade well it was the icing on the cake!
P.S: This post was written more than a week back, but due to no internet connection for the past few days and the fact that I had been travelling I have not been able to post it till today. Not that anybody cares, or do they???Hmmmm……
