Guntur Chicken Fry

Guntur Chicken fry,a spicy fry with freshly ground masala paste.Its a great party starter or an accompaniment for rice.As this fry is a dry version,it can be rolled in a roti and have it as a roll.

The recipe uses the basic ingredients and the freshly ground masala enhances the taste and aroma.I tried this recipe couple of times and it was a great hit among kids.
