Many of the foreign cuisines use chicken broth powder or stock powder. these are commonly used in Eastern cuisine, many western cuisines also use the same. This sometimes becomes a very essential item to enhance the taste and smell of the dish prepared.
But many times it is hard to gather this ingredient. You can always use the primary alternative that is the real chicken stock. But sometimes the recipe calls for dry powder, which adds to it a nonveg taste. This powder is very useful in making soups or fried rice as well as other dishes which automatically becomes a taste enhancer. This is not a paid promotion for any brand, rather an alternate solution.
For people living in India, the concept of chicken stock powder is fairly new, and there are not many companies that produce such. If one searches on Amazon, they are likely to get these following brands:
- Chef's Art Chicken broth powder
- Maggie Chicken Stock cube
- Chef solution Chik'n-Aroma Broth powder
- Knorr chicken flavour seasoning powder
Some of these are quite costly. And dependent on the Amazon stores. but there is a great alternative to these. this is widely available in local stores and also in supermarket stores like More, Big Bazar and Spencer's. It is Maggie Magic Cube (chicken).
This is a really great taste enhancer and is a strong alternative to chicken broth powders. Its ingredients are simple with permitted artificial flavouring. it has added salt and sugar to it, so keep a watch while using adding salt with it. It is affordable and easily available.
Maggie also makes vegetable broth powder and Maggie masala e Magic. they are great taste enhancers too.
Uses: You can use it while cooking, crumble a little bit and add to your soup after serving, you can add it to curries, rice and even egg fries.
I feel like this product has a versatile use. Sometimes when I'm bored of eating the same plain homemade food every day, I sprinkle some of this on the food. It tasted really good and I have tried cooking many dishes with this product, and they tasted awesome.
If you still not able to find these products anywhere and yet need the ingredients you can try the following:
- Boil some boneless chicken pieces and then dry them in the sun or in the microwave, then grind them to powder and store it in the fridge. Although you cannot store them for very long like store-bought powder. There are many youtube videos available.
- Boil and store some broth in the fridge. The shelf life is limited.
Hope these tips might able to help you all food enthusiasts and others too.
