Spicy Fried Chicken Curry


The other day when I was going to make chicken I thought of making something different apart from the regular chicken curry or chilli chicken or so. This dish came on my mind on the fly when I was sautéing my onions for my regular chicken curry, I thought why not to make a paste out of the masala and then add to it the dish. Also thought why not frying the chicken before adding to the gravy. Since the chicken is fried before making the curry hence the name Spicy Fried Chicken Curry.
