A delicious chicken dish, sesame seeds did enhance the taste…
Indo-Chinese dishes always excite me, it’s flavorful and quite delicious too. I have a good collection of Indo-Chinese dishes, from soups to appetizers to main course, making an Indo-Chinese themed meal is not that hard.
I love the flavor of sesame seeds, also I feel chicken and sesame seeds get along so well. I always have a tendency to add sesame seeds or ground sesame seeds to any dish, it just enhances the taste greatly. A couple of days ago I decided to make sesame chicken, this is more of an Indo-Chinese dish. This can be served with rice or roti.
