Chicken 65

There are many stories behind the origin of chicken 65 and how it got its name.  While we may not be interested in its history,  I am sure we all love the taste of spicy crispy chicken and especially kids love them. There are many varieties of recipies you will find with chicken 65 name.  I have tried all of those and this works out to be the best if you love crispy and juicy chicken and do not like you chicken to look wet like a Manchurian.  My family never gets tired of eating this dish and its our all time favourite.

Ingredients:
Chicken                            - 500 grams
Turmeric powder               - 1/2 teaspoon
Chilli powder                     - 2-3 tablespoon(as per your spice level)
Gingergarlic Paste              - 1 tablespoon
Garam masala                   - 1/2 tablespoon
Maida                               - 1 tablespoon

Lemon                              - 1 tablespoon
Salt                                  - to taste
Coriander leaves for garnishing
Oil for frying  (as required for deep frying)

Method:

This recipe works better with boneless chicken . Wash and cut the chicken in desired size.  I prefer pieces to be in bite size. Take chicken in a deep bowl ,add red chilli powder,turmeric powder, salt, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, maida,cornflour,lemon juice, mix it thoroughly, so that the chicken is well coated with masalas. Let this marinate for at least 15 minutes(more the better).

Now heat oil in a kadai or deep sauce pan and deep fry on medium high flame for about 6 minutes or until it turns dark brown on all side. Drain excess oil and garnish with coriander leaves. You may serve Chicken 65 with lemon wedges and onions ring.

Try this recipe and win over your family.  Looking forward for your feedback.
