Vanitha Magazine has this series where they write up on small local restaurants made famous through word of mouth. I find that I am becoming a fan of the one recipe that they usually give out from one of the popular items. So far everything I have tried have come out well. This is no exception.
The smell of the marinade is appetizing even before you start cooking. So I don't have to elaborate much on the aftermath. Guys and gals, get out your pans and aprons and get ready for a short and rewarding cooking experience.
In The Mix
Boned Chicken - 2 lbs (cut into medium pieces)
lemon drops - squeezed from 1/2 a lemon
salt to taste
oil - 1 cup or as needed
to crush
crushed red chili - 1 1/2 tbsp
turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
cumin powder - 2 tsp
ginger - 2" piece (cut into 2 or 3 pieces)
garlic - 10 lean cloves
How To Do
Crush the 'to crush' items by adding one at a time to the mix. Add salt and lemon drops to this and mix well.
Marinate the chicken in the mix for 1/2 to 1 hour.
Heat oil and fry/cook the chicken on both sides. Drain on paper towels and enjoy as is or with rice and veggies. It is as easy as it sounds and yummy to boot. Want to try? Go for it!

so simple.....have to try this.
Looks yum:-D
I normally marinate chicken with chilli pwdr, coriander pwdr, g-g paste, bit of garam masala pwdr & salt.
how do u do it normally?
smells yum too.
depends on what i am planning to make. if i am not sure then my marinade follows yours except for the g-g paste. i also add vinegar or lemon drops. this gives me flexibility as to when i need to cook since they act as preservation agents in addition to salt.
My kind of recipe: quick, easy and the aroma proclaims it involves a lot of work and great expertise which is the impression one ALWAYS wants to give...made for me.
very nice. just when i was looking for a new chicken recipe.
