hi friends,

this is my first chicken recipe in this blog. chicken is my all time favourite.especially the chicken starters.this is simple and a very easy chicken starter.actually i make chicken 65 by deep frying the marinated chicken pieces.but this time i tried this andhra style chicken 65 and it came out really good.

method:-

• cut chicken into bite sized pieces.
• marinate it with lemon juice,salt,red chilli powder,corriander powder and turmeric for atleast 5 min's.actually more it marinates more it tastes better.so u can marinate it for 4 hrs or more or even overnight in the fridge.
• transfer the above to a microwave safe dish, cover, and microwave it on high for 5 mins till chicken is almost done.
• remove from the microwave.drain and discard all the fluid.
• take oil in a pan.add mustard seeds.when it starts popping up,add dried red chillies and curry leaves.
