  • Let us start making chicken 65 - Wash and cut the chicken into very fine pieces (preferebly). Soak these chicken pieces in salt water for 15 minutes (this makes the chicken moist and juicy). Meanwhile, prepare the marinade.
  • Add chili powder, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, curd, chicken cubes into a bowl. Mix very well. To this, add gram flour, cornflour, fennel seed powder, and salt. Again mix well with a dash of water. Finally, add the beaten egg and give a fine mix. Marinade must be very thick. So do not add more water.
  • Add the chicken (drain the water completely) and mix well with hand. Keep refrigerated for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep bottomed frying pan for deep frying (preferably coconut oil). Fry green chilies and curry leaves until done. Transfer it to a plate.
