HOW TO LAYER NK'S CHICKEN LASAGNA
Step 2
-
Add chicken curry as first layer,
-
Then add a layer of creamy white sauce.
-
Above the sauce add chopped coriander leaves as required.
-
Then add grated mature cheddar white OR cheese of your choice.
-
Above the cheese add lasagna sheets (dry sheets make it wet by dipping in warm water with few drops of olive oil. OR use fresh sheets OR use boiled & drained sheets)
-
Next layer chicken curry again, then creamy white sauce, then coriander leaves, Then add grated mature cheddar white. Above the cheese add lasagna sheets. Repeat the same, as many layers as required.
-
On top layer I have used grated red cheddar cheese, and then do not require lasagna sheets, instead can add some lasagna tomato sauce remaining (100g).
-
Cover with foil . Do not tightly seal. Cheese might stick to foil if it is too tightly seal. Leave some space over the the lasagna tray, after adding cheese and tomato sauce to avoid sticking to the foil.
