Chicken Tikka

June 29, 2011
Enjoying Chicken Tikka or Tandoori Chicken served with Naan , takes me back to my 'exercise' days with my besties ~ Melinda, Steph, Judith and Shirley. Once a week, we'd organised our ' Ladies' Night'... we'd meet up at Judith's place in the evening... went for our brisk walking... about 5 rounds around the block... a good 45 minutes walk... burnt out 'excess baggage', worked out buckets of sweat...  We enjoyed the walk... each other company... it was fun and we did all the exercise in the name of 'Keeping Healthy' and being 'Healthy' together...  but then... After the exercise we adjourned to the nearby 'Sri Neela' Indian restaurant or Mamak Stall Indian street hawker ... only to gain whatever we burnt off... during our walk...    We'd order our Garlic Naan, Tandoori Chicken, Tosai, Iced Lemon Tea... and so forth... and we'd sat there chit-chatting... catching up on our daily
