Chicken Tangri

 This recipe of drumstick was actually a trial in my kitchen a week back or so after I saw this posted by a fellow member of an online foodie group Reem . I saw her mentioning so clearly step by step the whole procedure with all ingredients and that made me confident that  I am gonna do it exactly the same way she cooked it. But as obvious when I planned to cook the other day I was unable to recollect all the ingredients she has mentioned. Did not have much time in hand to search it again so I decided to make it with whatever ingredients available at home that I could remember which she might have used. It did turn out very well that I could not stop myself from sharing this here.  Loved the taste , the colour.



Ingredients:

Chicken drumstick : 4 pieces
Curd: 4-5 tbsp.
Garlic & ginger paste: 2 tbsp.
Red chilli powder: 1 & 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder: 1 tsp
Coriander powder: 1 tsp
Cumin powder roasted n grounded: 2 tsp
Salt to taste
Juice of one lime
Red food colour: as much required to get that red colour (optional)
Coriander leaves to garnish
Chopped garlic: 5-6 cloves
Chopped green chillies: 1-2
Curry leaves: few
Any vegetable oil: 2 tbsp.

Procedure:

Wash the drumsticks properly and keep aside.

Prepare the marinade by adding curd in a bowl. Add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin, salt, lime juice and few drops of oil. Mix everything well. Now add the food colour. You can avoid this if you do not like to include this.

 Now add the drumsticks in the marinade and flip over so that marinade coats the sticks from all the sides.

 Now in another bowl arrange the drumsticks one by one alternately and pour the remaining marinade on the pieces.

Cover the bowl and keep in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.

Now heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add  the garlic, curry leaves, chopped chillies and fry for a few seconds. Now add the drumsticks one by one. Pour the remaining marinade on them.

Now cover with lid and let it cook in low to medium flame. After 3-4 minutes turn over the drumsticks and cover again and let it cook.

Check whether they are cooked or not by poking a fork on each of the drumsticks. Once they are cooked check the gravy , if you want it dry then let the gravy evaporates or else put the flame off .

Enjoy this juicy tasty drumsticks with rice/roti or as a starter. Garnish with coriander leaves.
