Chicken Farcha

This is one of the most famous dishes served at Parsi functions. The Chicken farcha is chicken marinated in spices and masalas and fried in egg batter. This is extremely easy and very quick to make.

Ingredients:

7-8 pieces of chicken. (This is usually done using chicken legs but I used other pieces too)

2 tbsp ginger garlic paste

1 tsp haldi powder

1 tsp red chilli powder

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp chicken or any meat masala

2 eggs

2 tsp pepper

Salt to taste

Rava for coating

Oil for frying

Method:

Wash the chicken thoroughly and drain the water completely.

Make a thick paste of ginger garlic paste, haldi, red chilli powder, garam masala, chicken/meat masala and salt.

Marinate the dried chicken in this for about 6-7 hours.

Heat oil in a frying pan.

Beat 2 eggs and add pepper and salt (salt only for the eggs).

Coat each piece in rava and dip in egg batter. Now fry them in the hot oil (make sure oil is 

hot while adding the pieces in the vessel).

Lower the flame and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side.

Serve hot.
