 Non –veg recipes the simplest ones compared to vegetarian ones as you can avoid cutting. Easy chicken fry is very – very easy 😉. You can finish cooking in minutes. You can serve this fry as an appetizer also. It’s an awesome combination with rice along with Mooru Curry (yogurt gravy) 😋😋!!!. My little just enjoys that combination. You can marinate the chicken and store it in the freezer for days together. You can take the needed amount, thaw it and fry it as and when required. Okay then let’s get started…..

Preparation time: 10 MIN- overnight

Cooking time: 8-10 min

Ingredients:

Chicken (cleaned and cubed): 1 LB / 450gm

Ginger –garlic paste: 1 tbsp

Kashmiri chili powder: 1.5 tbsp

Pepper powder: 1 tsp

Coriander powder: ½ tsp

Turmeric powder: ¼ tsp

Garam  masala : ½ tsp

Lemon juice: ½ of 1 lemon

Curry leaves: 1-2 springs

Salt: as needed

Oil: as needed

Method

1.       Add all ingredients to the chicken except oil and give it a good mix using your fingers.

2.       Marinate it for at least 20 min

                                                                    

3.       Heat a pan with oil. Throw in the chicken pieces when the oil is hot enough.

4.       Along with the chicken throw in curry leaves also.

5.       I prefer shallow frying. You can also deep fry it.

6.       Cook it in medium flame by flipping it on both sides until crisp.

7.       Repeat till done. Add more oil if required.

8.        Drain the fried chicken pieces on to a paper towel.

                                               

9.       Serve with rice or as an appetizer.

10.   Enjoy. 

                                                   

NOTES:

1.       Use coconut oil for frying to get that unique taste.

2.       You can add normal chilli powder too or half of both Kashmiri chilli powder and normal chilli powder.

3.       Take care while adding curry leaves, it may splutter.

4.       If you have refrigerated the marinated chicken pieces for more than 3 hours bring it to room temperature before frying.
