Chicken Rava Fry is marinated chicken is coated with semolina or rava and is then shallow fried in little oil. This is served as a starter or appetizer or a side with rice.
My Little one loves chicken and calls it chicken fish. She eats a very less of it, but she loves the taste and jumps with joy when she sees the fried chicken. The other day, my hubby took her to the shop and they bought Real Good Chicken. My little one wanted to play with the packet. But then we told her that there is chicken in it and it has to be cooked. Immediately she handed the packet to me. I cleaned and marinated the chicken. But my little one just had no patience and wanted to eat that chicken fish as she calls it. So I made Chicken Rava Fry.
I just marinated the chicken for 1 hour and then tried 3 dishes. One was green chicken, one was chicken malvani and the 3rd was chicken rava fry. Green chicken for me, chicken malvani for my hubby and the 3rd one was for my little barbie doll. We did have all the 3 dishes and it was real fun. We also love chicken cafreal.
The chicken rava fry was a hit as my little one loved it a lot. The special taste of green masala made it really great.
Funniest thing was that, I was feeling bored to cook. I even told my mom on phone that I will not cook that day. But at night for dinner I ended up cooking 3 things at a time and also made some chapatis. God knows from where I got the stamina to cook so much. But I think it was only because of that long weekend. My mom was surprised to hear that I ended up with 3 chicken dishes and that too in the month of Shravan where most of the Indian Hindus do not consume non-veg food.
