Home Style Chicken Fry

When I don't want to cut any ingredients and keep in mind what everone would enjoy, this is a perfect recipe , I don't have to stand near the gas all the time or worry that it won't taste good re - heated. 

Cook it and relax until dinner time. Serve with either a potato mash and stir fried veggies or just steamed veggies or plain Pulao. Try it once and you will make it a part of your menu at least once a week as it's healthy as it's not deep fried and you can make it with olive oil to make it really healthy .  The addition of yoghurt in the marinade makes it juicy and moist.    

Home Style Chicken Fry

Ingredients:

Chicken  - 1 kg ( I used pre – cut pieces)

Marinade:

Ginger Garlic paste – 1 heaped tbsp.

Chilli powder – 1 tsp

Coriander powder  – 1 tsp

Cumin powder – ½ tsp.

Lemon juice – 1 whole lime

Fenugreek powder – a pinch ( optional)

Garam masala or mixed spices powder  – ½ tsp.  

Yoghurt – 2 tbsp.’s

Salt to taste

Method:

1. Take the chicken in a bowl.  Put all the marinade ingredients together and mix them well. Massage into the chicken pieces well. Make gashes so that the marinade can seep through.
2. If you have time, keep it in the fridge to marinate for an hour or so.
3. Next take a heavy bottom flat frying pan. Heavy bottom helps to keep the burnt look. Put just about a tbsp.. of oil. Let the pan get really hot and put the chicken pieces in. After about a minute, lower the heat to medium. Fry for 7 minutes on each side.
4. It’s done!

Few Points:

• This style does not require any egg or flour as it won’t get the desired look.
• If your chicken legs are bigger, cover for about two minutes and finish uncovered.
