Chicken 65

Chicken 65 is deep fried chicken dish. The spice level can be adjusted according to ones taste buds. I have two kids, so I make it medium spicy.
Its a super simple dish to make,  and an all time favorite for everyone(at least in my family).

Here is a step by step procedure:

Ingredients

Boneless chicken cubes - 300 gms

Egg - 1

Lime - 1/2

Turmeric - 1/4tsp

Chili powder - 1/2tsp

Coriander powder - 1/4tsp

Garam masala - 1/4tsp

Ginger-Garlic paste - 3/4tsp

Cornflour - 2TBSp

Salt to taste

oil for deep frying

For seasoning(optinal)

Slit green chili - 2

Curry leaves

Crushed garlic -2

Fresh coriander leaves

 

 

Take a medium sized bowl, whisk egg, cornflour, turmeric, chili powder, garam masala, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt and squeeze the lime juice in and whisk the mix well.

This is your marinade, add the chicken and mix well. Cover the bowl with a plastic film.  Put in the fridge for a minimum of 2 hours.

 

Take out the marinade, at least 15 minutes before you want to serve the dish.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Deep fry the marinated chicken for about 5-10 minutes(or check if the chicken is cooked). I use chicken tenders, so I deep fry the chicken somewhere in between 5-10 minutes. (If my kids are home, they start munching on the chicken right away before I do the seasoning). You can try both ways, seasoning does add a nice taste to the fried chicken.
  
 Now prepare the seasoning items. take a shallow pan and add very little oil, about 1-2 tsp, add green chili, curry leaves and the crushed garlic and stir it till the garlic is light brown and the chili looks fried. Add in the chicken and some fresh coriander leaves, and stir it well and turn off the flame. Your dish is ready to be served. Serve it with a dash of lime.

 

 

  Serve it as a snack, or as a side dish. Hope you enjoy this simple and delicious dish!
