Chicken fry is a simple yet flavorful Indian dish that’s perfect for any occasion. It’s made by marinating chicken pieces in a spiced yogurt mixture and then frying them until crispy and golden brown. The marinade, which is typically a blend of yogurt, spices, and herbs, gives the chicken a tender and juicy texture, while the frying process adds a satisfying crunch.
Ingredients:
- 500g chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions:
- Marinate the chicken: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken pieces and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
- Fry the chicken: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
Tips:
- For a spicier chicken fry, add more red chili powder or some chopped green chilies to the marinade.
- You can also add other ingredients to the marinade, such as chopped onions, tomatoes, or curry leaves.
- For a healthier option, bake the chicken instead of frying it.
- Serve chicken fry with a side of raita or mint chutney.
