Chicken Majestic

Ingredients :

Chicken - boneless (preferably breast pieces)

All purpose flour - 2tsp

Corn flour - 2tsp

Salt as per taste

Water Oil for deep fry Butter - 2tsp

Cumin seeds - 2tsp

Whole red chillies - 4 broken into pieces

Garlic - 2 cloves crushed

Mint leaves - a few chopped

Pepper powder - 1/2tsp

Chilli powder as per taste

Spring onions - 3 chopped

Ajinomoto (Chinese salt or Monosodium Glutamate Too technical.) a pinch

Lime juice - 1 or 2tsp

Coriander Leaves - for garnish

Preparation :

Clean the chicken, add all purpose flour, corn flour, little salt, little water and mix well.

Take a heavy bottomed pan, pour oil, when the oil is hot enough, add chicken pieces few at a time and deep fry them (to the texture you see in the snap).

Keep these fried pieces aside until later. Take a pan, add butter, after the butter melts, add cumin seeds, whole red chillies and crushed garlic.

When the garlic starts to change color, add mint leaves and saute for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, add pepper, salt, chilli powder and spring onions.

Adjust salt and chilli powder as per taste. Add ajinomoto, when the water starts to boil, add fried chicken pieces and stir well.

Add some lime juice, leave it for 5 minutes and then turn off the flame. Chicken pieces should fully absorb the gravy. If you prefer little gravy, do not wait till the pieces totally absorb it.

Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
