Few simple steps to get very crispy shallow fried chicken. The recipe was created accidentally, but tastes perfect. Ingredients 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut its small pieces 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 tsp salt 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp paprika 10 pods of chopped garlic 2 eggs 1/2 cup Vegetable oil for frying Method   In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic. Beat the eggs and add to them. Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces and fold completely in the mixture. Let this marinate for 4 hours in fridge. Keep it out for half an hour before frying Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy frying pan over in medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes each sides. Once cooked, remove the chicken breasts from the pan and place them on a grilled stand lined with paper towel to remove any excess oil. Serve fried chicken immediately with your favourite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Crispy bitter gourd with minimum oil and same crunch factor. It is usually served as a vegetarian side dish in lunch or dinner, but I have it with ghee smeared chapati.

Ingredients: 1 large bitter gourd 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder 1/4 teaspoon cumin powder 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder 1/4 teaspoon garam masala 1/4 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder) 1/4 cup chickpea flour (besan) 1/4 cup rice flour 2 tbsp oil  Method Wash the bitter gourd and pat it dry with a paper towel, remove the seeds and cut it into thin slices. In a bowl, mix the bitter gourd slices with salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and amchur. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
