Minty Chicken




Minty Chicken
(Home Easy Starter)
Method :
  • Wash and cut chicken into medium sized pieces. Remove/drain excess water
  • Wash Mint leaves to remove mud and dry them on a cloth. Cut Green chillies into medium pieces.
  • Place Kadai / Wok pour 2-3 tsp oil, put mint leaves & Green chillies together fry till the leaf shrinks and water evaporates. Cool it.
  • Grind Mint-Chilli mix along with Ginger-Garlic paste, pepper powder, fennel powder, Chilly / Dhania mix, Garam Masala & Salt, little water may be added to get a smooth thick paste. (Avoid excess water)
  • Add this mix to the Chicken pieces along with food color, Maida & Corn  flour . Coat the pieces evenly sprinkling water only if required.
  • Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator

Cooking :
  • Heat enough oil in a Kadai/Wok . Lower the flame.
  • Deep Fry till it is done/crisp [say Greenish brown] (If the pieces stick to the Kadai add a little more corn flour and mix well)   
  • Serve with Onion &  lemon slices

Tip : 
  1. Always check with  1 or 2 pieces for checking stickiness, Oil heat level etc  Cooking in low flame cooks / tastes better.
  2. Chicken Leg/Thigh is preferred since it is Soft & Juicy.
