Heat oil in a pan. Fry all chicken pieces in medium flame. Drain excess oil from chicken and keep seperately.
Heat the two tablespoons of oil in a non stick heavy bottom pan and when oil is hot, add cumin seeds , feenal seeds , green chilli, curry leaves, chopped ginger garlic and fry until it turns brown. Now add cumin powder,chilli powder, pepper powder, ajinomoto , chilli garlic sauce (i prefer maggi brand for this dish) and little salt (Becareful while adding salt, you have already added salt in the chicken, so add little salt to sauce). Mix red color powder in 1/2 cup water. Add that water to the mixture. Fry them for 10 mins low flame. Now add chicken pieces to the mixture . Once all pieces mixed with sauce and it become dry. Then remove chicken from flame. Sprinkle few drops of lemon juice.Garnish with coriander leaves, onions and serve with any kind of rice.

Hi I can’t eat ajinomoto so can i make this dish without adding it or can u suggest any substitute product.
Hi Judy,
Ajinomoto is just a taste maker and you may skip that part, there is no substitute for this, just add a pinch of sugar instead which would even out the dish.

thank you for such a nice recipe, simple to make and excellent outcome!!!!!! thank you once again
hiiiii.is it necessary to add ajinomoto? can we use anything instead of ajinomoto.tatz looking awesome
could u please tell .. it is a deep fry or just fry with small amount oil..
I know what common sense is. U don't have to teach me dat.Itz just a doubt, dat the spice is too much, b'for i start experimenting. Nothing else, no matter who has posted it. Moreover, u don't have to be so harsh to answer 1 question.
Dear Mullai,
In case i am using 1 kg chicken should i use 5 T (tablespoon) pepper pwdr. Don’t u think it will get too spicy? In d picture shown the chicken amount does’nt look like 200 gram as mentioned by u.It looks like d more quantity is used.
Hi Zarina, don't just blindly post a question, read the recipe thoroughly. This recipe is shared by a member and she has asked to adjust the spice level according to personal preference. Recipes and images are shared with a good intention to clue you as to the ingredients and to show how the final dish looks like, no guarantee given for quantity unless otherwise mentioned. Simple common sense!!

hi deepu ur dish looks yummy!! i want to try this but could u please tell me what ajinomoto is? where can i get it?
Hi jyothi padavala,
Ajinomoto is added to food to enhance its flavour. its an artificial food taste enhancer made of Monosodium Glutamate . It looks like salt. Add little bit bcos its not good for health and dont use frequently. Pergnant ladies pls avoid this. You can get it in all Chinese grocery shop and Indian grocery shop.
deepu
