Chicken stir fry recipe: This is one first recipes that I’ve learnt from my mom and I use it very often. It tastes good with both veg and non veg curries. I use the normal tomatoes that is more tangy – adds that unique flavour and taste to the fry. Haven’t added any food color, but it has turned out nice red because of the chilli powder.
Ingredients:
300gms chicken( medium or small pieces)
1/2 medium sized onion (finely chopped)
1/2 medium sized tomato(finely chopped)
1 tblspn ginger garlic paste
1 tblspn chilli powder

1/2 tspn garam masala powder
1 tspn pepper cumin powder
1 red chilly
1 green chilly
1 stalk of curry leaves
Few coriander leaves (finely chopped)
1 tspn lemon juice
1/2 tspn fennel seeds

- Heat 3 tblspn oil in a pan. Add fennel seeds.
- Then add the red chilly, green chilly, curry leaves, few coriander leaves and then the onions.
