What I love about this recipe is that, with just the barest of preparation you can have a tasty spicy chicken fry within few minutes. I adapted this recipe from Vanitha magazine and is already one of the hit list in my kitchen. This goes well with chapathi/roti or fried rice. I relish this with curd rice 🙂 and of course any left-over chicken can be used in wraps or sandwiches and makes a good brunch. Make this dish as spicy as you like – it is equally delicious mild or hot.
