Chicken Fry

This time both Blogging marathon and blog hop were almost in the same time. Though I prepared the dish much ahead of time, pictures were ready, but I didn't get time to sit and write the post with kids running around, pulling and pushing things.It is kind of crazy here. I could hardly manage do one post a day. So the marathon was over yesterday and  today am posting for the Blog Hop. I was paired with Swetha of Our Cherished world. She has a nice space with lot of good recipes. I selected her Simple chicken Fry.The reason why I selected this is, I don't have much non-vegetarian recipes in my space. So am on a mission to post few non veg recipes to create a balance and selected her chicken Fry. I made some changes to her recipe, the main thing is reduced the chillies to suit our taste and we all love it.It was very easy to make and very delicious. I made Coconut milk Pulao to go with it.Rice, rasam and this will also be a good combination. Will be posting the recipe for coconut milk pulao next week. Please do come back  to check it.
