Chicken Drumstick Fry

Most of our weekend lunch or dinner is non-veg,depending on the availability of ingredients it will be either a simple Chicken fry and rasam or Chicken Pulao and Chicken Curry.
Last week my kiddo was down with flu and cold wanted to give some chicken soup.As we make the chicken soup with boned chicken  got a big pack of chicken drumstick which is more for 3 of us.After making the soup for couple of days wanted to try something  with the remained drumsticks but not in a mood to make biriyani or Tandoori chicken.Suddenly got the idea of making fry with it which I had it in my sister's place last time to pair it with rasam for dinner.It was a so delicious and the chicken was cooked perfectly and made in less than 30 minutes.The only thing is chicken needs to be marinated for atleast 4-5 hours.I marinated the chicken in the morning and made it in the evening,now on to the recipe....................

• The amount of chilly powder given is for the spicier side,if you want milder version reduce the amount.
• This fry can be done in an open cooking method,it takes little more time and needs more oil to cook,to cut down the oil I made in the pressure pan.
