I tasted this recipe 6 years ago for the first time. I literally fell in love with chicken 555. I have been wanting to make that recipe ever since. It tasted so good; every time I try. So, I am sharing this recipe to you!

 Chicken 555 recipe... I wonder why they name it this way(if that's what your question is!). Is it because the recipe needed 5 ingredients for 3 stages? Anyways, the history of the recipe is not important when you have an interesting recipe on your plate. Usually this recipe can be found in Hyderabadi restaurants as starter or side dish. I have adjusted the heat level of the recipe. The main ingredients are curd, ginger and garlic.

 Below is the recipe instruction in detail.

 Recipe:
  • Prep time - 20 mins + 20 mins for marination
  • Cooking time - 20 mins
Ingredients:


  • For marination:
    • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
    • 1 tsp chili powder
    • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
    • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
    • 1 tbsp corn flour
    • Salt to taste ( only for marination)
    • 1 egg
    • 1 small chicken breast ( 350 gms)
  • For sauce:
    • 5 tbsp Oil for frying ( use same oil for sauce 2 tbsp)
    • 1 tbsp finely chopped ginger
    • 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
    • 1 tbsp finely chopped green chili pepper
    • 1 tbsp finely chopped onion
    • Salt to taste ( for sauce)
    • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
    • 1 tbsp chili powder
    • 1 tbsp coriander powder
    • 1 tsp black pepper powder
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/2 tsp sugar
    • Curry leaves
    • 3/4 cup curd
    • A small handful roasted cashews.  
Method:
  • In a mixing bowl, add the marination ingredients first. Make sure that the you use boneless chicken. I have not tried with bone chicken. I guess that it will taste good too.
  • Let it rest for 20 mins. Then deep fry it for 3 to 5 mins. The chicken cooks pretty fast as it is of bite sized pieces.
  • Keep the fried pieces aside. In the same wok/ skillet, add finely chopped ginger, garlic, green chili pepper, onion. Sauté with some salt and spices. Spices are usually Kashmiri chili powder, coriander powder, salt, sugar, pepper powder, turmeric powder and water.
  • Once it has cooked, add the curry leaves and curd. Give it a min. and add in the roasted cashews.
  • Add in the fried chicken. Give it a toss and it's ready to be served.
