Notes
Goes well Rice, Biryani or simply as an appetizer.
Cook in a medium flame else the chicken might soon turn golden in the outside but would be under cooked from inside.
Use coconut oil and curry leaves for a nice flavour.
Don’t over crowd the chicken in the kadai while deep frying. Fry in batches.
Serve hot for best results.
Using food colour is not recommended. Instead used Kashmiri red chili powder.
