hi everyone i'm smitha and i'm excited
to have you in my home today i live here
in new york new york right by the hudson
and while i love going to all of the
great restaurants that new york has to
offer lately i've been spending a lot of
time at home and right here in my
kitchen
today i'm going to help you make chicken
65.
so this isn't just one of the tastiest
dishes that i make but it also holds a
really special place in my heart that's
because it's all the way from chennai
india where both of my parents grew up
and met
so let's get started
first we need what else the chicken
chopped into pieces now here's an
insider tip if you poke holes in the
chicken it'll really absorb the flavor
followed by salt and where there's salt
there's usually pepper
red cashmere powder
coriander powder
garam masala
ginger garlic paste and yogurt the vasey
one is my favorite
next let's mix all these sauce
ingredients together i really love that
red color you can even add more red food
coloring if you want to give it that
really really rich color
so now you're gonna set this aside for
60 minutes when you finish up stirring
and then we're gonna come right back to
this
so the next part here is to coat the
chicken and i really like to use both
rice flour as well as corn flour because
it really gives it the nice texture
so i'm really excited to use this this
is my new fancy wok now i've heated up
the vegetable oil so the next step is
putting the chicken in and i'm just
adding the chicken and you'll notice
that you can already start to smell this
it smells so delicious
so now that you can see it's ready i
like to put it on a paper towel just to
really absorb that oil
so now i carefully got rid of the frying
oil and added fresh vegetable oil here
to the pan now i'm going to put in some
garlic you just want to add this in for
a few seconds
you can smell that it already smells
great
[Music]
and then i'm going to throw in the curry
leaves
as well as the green chilies let's throw
it all in
i'm going to turn down my heat as you
can see it's pretty high
so we're going to throw everything in
here
okay and then i'm going to add my
chicken back in
[Applause]
and then you want to stir this here just
for a little bit
now i'm going to add just a little bit
more black pepper
i feel like black pepper goes well on
almost everything so we'll just add a
little bit more here
and here's your finished product
thanks so much for watching
