Simple Chicken Fry


This chicken fry goes very well with some rice and dal. It's very simple and easy to make and gets ready in no time.



Prep time: 10 min
Cook time 10 min
Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast
Salt to taste
1 tsp kashmiri red chilli powder
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Chopped coriander leaves
2 spring curry leaves
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp oil
1" piece cinnamon
3 cloves
1 green cardamom
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 green chillies, slit lengthwise
1 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
Juice from 1/2 lime

Directions:

Cut chicken in to bite size pieces. Add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, some chopped coriander leaves, curry leaves and ginger garlic paste. Mix well and keep it in the refrigerator for atleast an hour.
Heat oil in a pan, add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and cumin seeds. When they start to sizzle, add green chillies and stir for 30 seconds.
Add marinated chicken and mix well. Cover with a lid and cook until most of the moisture evaporates. Stir in between to prevent spices from burning.
Add coriander powder and garam masala powder and mix it well. Continue to cook for a minute.

  1. Nice quick delight this is Sarita. Just one question: do we need to defrost the marinated chicken (or just leave it out for some time) before frying it?

    1. I usually keep the marinated chicken in the refrigerator for 3-4 hrs and keep it outside 15 minutes before I start cooking.
