Easy-to-make, can't-go-wrong, finger-lickin' good chicken!
ingredients
Chicken drumsticks................................8, large Rice flour...............................................4 tbsps Coriander pwdr.....................................2-3 level tbsps Kashmiri Red Chilli pwdr.....................1 level tbsp, or acc to taste Black pepper ground............................1 level tsp Turmeric..............................................1 level tsp Cumin pwdr.........................................1 level tbsp Lemon juice.........................................1 medium size lemon Curry leaves (optional).......................8-10. (This recipe doesn't use it by choice!) Green chilli.........................................acc to taste, slit or sliced diagonally Green coriander for garnish EVOO or any refined oil.....................2-3 tbsps (Extra Virgin Olive Oil is my choice of oil and not necessary for this recipe)
directions
Make diagonal cuts along both sides of the drumsticks. Marinate using all the ingredients except curry leaves (if using) green chili and oil. Keep aside for 6-7 hrs for better result. Overnight would be great. Heat Extra Virgin Olive Oil, or whichever oil you are using, in a large non-stick fry pan. (If you are using curry leaves add them now) Place the marinated drumsticks side by side. Put in only as many as can fit in. Do not put them one on top of the other. Repeat procedure if you have more than can fit in at a time. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes on medium heat. Then remove lid and raise heat to high and cook for another 5-7 minutes, turning each piece over from time to time until they are crisp and brown on the outside. If you want it a bit piquant, add the slit green chilli, stir into oil. Otherwise you could add them later as a garnish. Remove and arrange in a flat dish. Garnish with green chillies, and chopped green coriander. Serve as a starter or side dish at a meal, or as a snack.
