Chicken 65

This evening my husband had to go to Bangalore for two days, leaving my toddler boy and me alone in a new city like Chennai, where I don't know anybody. It was an unexpected tour, and since I would be bored alone, I decided to cook something from the many blogs I have visited. I thought of making chicken. In most of the recipes I saw, the masalas had to be grinded, and I was feeling very very lazy to do that. And my son was crying because his dadda did not take him along. He even put on his pants on his own so that he could go with dadda.

The recipe which I thought was the easiest was Chicken 65, from Bong Mom. The marinade smelled so good, that I was sure the end result would also be good. While cooking, my boy said "nice smell mums (he calls me mums now. Don't know why)". He loved eating it.

I marinaded the chicken for about an hour with:

Vinegar

Ginger garlic paste

Salt

Pinch of Turmeric powder

Pinch of red Chilli powder

Soya Sauce: 2 tsp

Corn flour

Sambar powder: 2-3 tsp

Then, in hot oil, I fried curry leaves, mustard seeds and chopped garlic.

Next, I added the chicken pieces and fried them. I covered it and cooked it on a low flame till it was ready. Like the recipe suggests, I did not add water.

I am really thankful to Bong Mom for posting this yummy dish. It tasted great!!
