Chicken 65
Chicken 65
Chicken 65 is a very popular dish, which is considered to be an appetizer but you may also serve it as a main dish. This dish is said to be originated in a renowned Hotel in Chennai. This dish is known to be a popular South Indian appetizer but over the years it has gained much popularity even at Pakistani restaurants.I do have South Indian roots from my forefathers and hence wanted to put up a dish which has some link to South Indian Food. This dish is quite simple and if you love spicy food, this is definitely a must try. You can serve this dish with some white Rice or Rotis or even eat it just as it is. It is extremely flavourful and will definitely make you crave for some more!
