Shredded Chicken with Shallots and Ginger

Shredded Chicken with Shallots is a recipe shared by my friend. This is the best way to use left over rotisserie chicken and remake in to something delicious. We have this chicken masala with roti or rasam rice. This is great to stuff inside pita bread or even sandwiches.

 

Recipe is very simple, just throw all spices, peeled shallots and shredded chicken and cook on low flame for few minutes until all flavours are blended well with the chicken. Since I easily get shallots here, I used shallots. You can use chopped onions instead. I like shallots for they taste little bit sweeter and nutty than onion and they look like little pearl in chicken when cooked up :)
