Have been following your recipes with great interest, and have tried out a few successfully. Keep up the good work! My question: Can I use store-bought ginger-garlic paste instead of ginger paste and garlic paste separately?
Sharanya
Aarthi
@AnonymousYes u can use ginger garlic paste
Aarthi
@AnonymousNo reason..Just laziness..You can remove it

Hi Aarthi
Should we marinate chicken in fridge for 2-3 hrs?? r we can mix everything n jus fry
Aarthi
@Ashwini DhanasekarYou can just fry, no problem..but marinating makes it more flavouful and allow the masala to penetrate into the chicken

Aarthi
@AnonymousRice flour makes it crispy.
