Chicken tawa fry recipe, Tawa chicken fry

Chicken tawa fry/ Chicken tawa roast as the name suggests it is a simple yet delicious chicken fry recipe prepared by roasting/ frying marinated pieces of chicken in tawa to perfection with flavors of curry leaves. We usually eat either chicken lollipop, chicken 65, chili chicken, chicken drumstick (baked) or chicken kebab which involves too many ingredients but we people forget to try/ cook such simple tawa fry/ roast which involves handful ingredients and easy cooking technique. So thought to share this homely recipe that has been passed on from my MIL to me but I did a little tweak to the original recipe by adding springs of curry leaves which elevated the taste of the dish and enhances its flavors as well. I copied this trick from thalapakatti restaurant and it really did justice to this dish. Nothing much to explain as the dish is itself simple. I have used only chicken drumstick in this recipe as I had only those at home. Try making this chicken tawa fry for Sunday lunch and serve it along with plain kuska/ chicken biryani. So let’s get to the making of chicken tawa roast !!
