Chicken Bezule

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 kg Chicken cut into small bite size pieces

To grind

  • Coriander leaves- a handful
  • 2 sprigs curry leaves
  • 3 green chillies
  • 1 ″ piece ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2- 2 tsp Chilly powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
  • Few drops of red food color
  • 1 tbsp rice flour
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp yoghurt
  • Oil to deep fry
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

DIRECTIONS

  • Grind the ingredients listed under to grind into a coarse paste.
  • To the ground paste add all the ingredients except the rice flour and all purpose flour. Marinate for a minimum of four hours or better overnight.
  • Before frying add in the flours. I had added all the ingredients including the flours and then marinated it. But i think it would be better if you add both the flours just before frying.
  • Fry in hot oil.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

✔ If the batter is too dry, the marinade will come off the chicken when frying. So if you get a dry batter, add in a few drops of water to get a slightly wet batter so that it sticks well onto the chicken.
✔ Add the chicken in real hot oil. If the oil is not hot enough you will get soggy chicken and also the chances of the marinade coming off the chicken is high.
✔ Do not add many pieces of chicken at a time while frying. That is, do not overcrowd the pan.
✔ Do not over-fry the chicken. Fry to perfection to get nice tender pieces.
✔ Do not skip the marinating part.
