Chicken 65

 

Deep fried chilly chicken is all-time favorite for most of the chicken lovers..This is one of the simple and easy method of preparing a kabab using chicken. This would be kids favorite because of added sauces and hope you guys try at home.

Ingredients:

Chicken - 1/2 kg

Curry leaves - 1 stick

To grind as paste:

Red Chilli powder - 2 tbsp (I used Kashmirilal)

Corn flour - 4 tbsp

Rice flour - 2 tbsp

Ginger - 1/2 inch size

Garlic - 4 pods

Curd - 1 tbsp

Soy sauce - 1/4 ts

Tomato sauce - 2 tsp

Vinegar/Lemon juice - 1/2 tsp

Salt - 2 tsp

Method:

 1. Grind the listed ingredients all together to a very fine paste.

 2. Marinate the cleaned chicken pieces using the paste. Deep freeze for about 1 hour.

 3. Heat oil in a thick kadai and add curry leaves along with the marinated chicken.

 4.Deep fry until they are cooked tender and transfer to a separate pan to drain oil.

 5. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy with ring onions.

Note:

• Clean and chop the chicken to even pieces if you find it too big.
• Grinding the ingredients will help you get a very fine paste of ginger and garlic.
• This also helps in even and easy mixing for marinating.
• Either refrigerate or allow in room temperature for about 2 hours. This helps the masala for even binding.
• I used Kashmiri lal red chilli powder which gave a vibrant color.
• Do not use food colors.

How to save oil while deep frying???

• Use a deep kadai.
• Use little oil required for about frying 4to 5 pieces.
• At the end you might be even using 1 two pieces for frying. 
• Finally about 1 tbsp of oil would be left over at the maximum and you can discard it.
