Chicken Lal Mirch

"It is too teekha", said Thing 2, but when I assured him it was not, he polished off the chicken.
"Why have you made boiled chicken", asked his father. Before taking a bite and decclaring, "Accha hai!"

For a dish that can be whipped up so easily, this recipe of MP's is surprisingly effective.


You need chicken drumsticks
I marinated about 10 drumsticks with
1 and 1/2 table spoon lemon juice
1 table spoon Kashmiri chilli powder for colour
Salt

Heat ghee
Add chicken and fry on high for 5-7 minutes till the juices are sealed.
Then cook on low
Add 20 cloves of garlic
10-15 Kashmiri chillies (unbroken) while the chicken is being cooked
The chicken cooks in it's own juices and just has the flavour of ghee and these

Works really nicely as a starter and can even be made with boneless chicken. At times, I even sprinkle a bit of coarsely ground fresh pepper and a little more lemon juice for a slightly tangier taste before serving
