  • Once the oil is hot add in the marinated chicken and few curry leaves and fry in a medium flame.
  • Cook till the chicken turns golden and is cooked completely. Allow it to drain in paper towel and serve hot.

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.
  •  Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and use.
