How to Cook Chicken 65
- In preparation, peel and finely chop the ginger and the garlic and finely chop the chilies. Chop the coriander leaves and the curry leaves.
- Remove any skin from the chicken and wash the meat thoroughly, cut it into large bite-size pieces. Place the chicken pieces in a mixing bowl and add the salt, Ajinomoto, 1 teaspoon of the ginger-garlic paste, the corn flour and just a pinch of the cayenne pepper. Mix this well then add the egg and mix thoroughly.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or wok and add the chicken pieces, a few at a time. Fry for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown. Place the chicken on absorbent kitchen paper and keep warm.
- Drain the oil from the pan, leaving just 2-3 tablespoons in the bottom (or use a fresh frying pan). Add the cumin seeds, the chopped ginger and the chopped garlic and sauté for few seconds. Add in the chopped chilies, the other teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste, the chopped curry leaves, cayenne pepper, chili powder and ajinomoto and mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat, then stir in 2-3 tablespoons of water to make a paste. Add back the cooked chicken and toss lightly. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.

You can use chicken breast if you prefer, but the dark meat from the legs and thighs stays juicy better when fried.
Reviews of Chicken 65
![]() This was really, really good. I skipped the Ajinomoto because you shouldn't need to use flavor enhancers and anyway I doubt it would be available where I am. Even so, the flavor was excellent, not too strong, just nice hints of ginger, garlic, chilli to spice the chicken. Glad i tried this recipe. i shall do it again soon, for sure. Laura (3 reviews) |
