Daddy's simple chicken fry

 My Dad is one of those guys who is not comfortable in the kitchen, totally not his fault, his grandma i.e is my great grandma was a fabulous cook and then that was taken over by his wife my mom, who is a fantastic cook :)... these were the famous words ofmy nainamma(Dad's mom).

I remeber growing up we would try makingsomething whenever mom was not around and always ended up creating a disaster, but made lot of happy memories...this one time me, dad and my cousintried making mutton and ended up putting lot of chilli powder as it did not look as red as the the way mom made. In the end we ate scrambled omlette that day

About this chicken recipe...Dad and one of his cousin had to spend somwtime away from home due to work..and both dudes :) wanted some home cooked meal...and this was what mom taught dad..and till this date this is the only dish dad can whipout...and mion you its as finger licking as it looks :)
