There are certain recipes which are forever a favourite with me. One such chicken recipe is this Chicken Fry. This recipe has been with me since a long long time, and now I can't even remember it's source. I make this quite often as it requires very few ingredients and I also love the flavour of curry leaves in it. It goes very well with rotis, though I serve it with Peas Pulao too along with some raita.
