18th June marks one of the best days of my life. Today was the day when I gave audition for MasterChef Show and since then life has never been the same.
For my first audition round, I served all the judges my Malaysian Satay Chicken with Peanut butter sauce and they loved the flavor of my dish. This was actually a proud and happy moment.
Since my audition, a lot of people asked me what I cooked and if they can have the recipe as well. Hence, finally I am sharing this amazing dish but with more twists and turns. This is so simple and quick for your Sunday evening snack or may be during dinner with the whole family.
This is also a dose of protein and can be eaten after a nice gym workout.
