Ingredients:

Chicken drumsticks 800 gm/12
Chick-pea flour 30 gm/2 tbs
Curry leaves 10
Flour 30 gm/2 tbs
Garlic paste 15 gm/3 tsp
Ginger, chopped 5 gm/1 tsp
Ginger paste 15 gm/3 tsp
Green chillies, chopped 3
Oil to deep fry
Lemon juice 30 ml/2 tbs
Red chili powder 5 gm/1 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:

Make a marinade of ginger and garlic pastes, red chili powder, green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, salt and lemon juice. Rub onto chicken and set aside for 2 hours. Add flour and chick-pea flour to the marinade. Mix well. Deep fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, in moderately hot oil. Remove and keep aside. When all the pieces are done repeat the frying process to get a crisp exterior. The oil should not be too hot as it would then discolor the pieces.Serve with French fries, salad and mint chutney.
