Description

I always end up cooking  any dish which transforms to be really spicy and leads to being dominated with our Indian flavours . So for a change forced myself towards a simple and a bit bland dish wanting the protein to speak for itself . The final out come with few ingredients used transformed into  a chicken fry packed with subtle , delicate flavours . I did give a try following the same recipe with basa fish and served it with a white sauce . It did work then too with an exotic blend to suit all kinds of tastes . We at home ,  celebrated of this moorish  starter that was fragrantly herby . You can follow the recipe up to coating with the panco bread crumbs and refrigerate them and deep fry to a golden brown colour when required . A practical way to save things for lazy days .  This recipe falls under the every one can cook category specially beginners . Well easy is beautiful but when it’s along with fast , clever , easy , save time , genius and a quick fix recipe . What more do you need !!!!
