Flavorful Chicken Crispies

              It has been quite a while since I haven't been into blogging.Now its ramadan and its a time to concentrate in prayers and seek forgiveness to the Almighty.These are days when the doors of hell is closed and the doors of heaven are opened for all believers.Believers render a helping hand to the needy and bear the difficulties of fasting and control their feelings for the sake of Allah.

             Though this is a month of indulging more in prayers,new snacks are also introduced in this month and innovative dishes are invented at this time of the year.This is because during ifthar (breaking of fast), all the believers break their fast with fruits,juices and few snacks.To avoid repetition of the same dishes again and again,few new items are also introduced and innovated in this month.

           Today am gonna introduce crispy fried chicken which is one of the best dishes of my bhaabhi,Amina.This chicken fry has got lots of flavor in it coz of the ingredients like ginger and garlic.This can be served as a snack or starter or as a side dish instead of the ordinary chicken fry.Now over to the recipe...
