Jameela Chicken...



I know the name sounds a bit different, it is because one of my cousin, obviously named Jameela, makes this chicken quite often hence the name.

Ingredients:
For marination
* Chicken 8-10 pieces
* Ginger-Garlic paste 2 tbsp
* Juice of 1 Lemon
* Red chilli powder 1 tsp
* Dhaniya powder 2 tsp
* Turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
* Egg 1 medium
* Salt

For frying
* Oil
* Curry leaves
* Mustard seeds 1 tsp
* Green chillies 2

Procedure:
Marinate chicken in the above ingredients for 1-2 hours.
Deep fry the marinated chicken and drain oil completely and place them in a plate/pan.
In another pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add mustard seed, chopped green chillies and curry leaves.
Pour this tarka over the fried chicken and serve at once.

  3. This came out real nice....instead of deep frying, I decided to bake the chicken for about 30 mins at 400F. It was delish...truly bhatyara-style! Thanks for sharing such an easy and delicious recipe.

  12. Can anyone tell me if I bake the chicken instead of frying, should I still need to add egg in marinating?
