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

Is there any reason to add the rice flour?can we do without it?
Aarthi
@AnonymousRice flour makes it crispy.
