Chicken Kubera

Chicken Kubera is a signature dish by Kudpi Raj maam. The dish which I was waiting to try from a long time. :)

A yummy starter, which can be prepared from the ingredients readily available in your kitchen.

Vegetarians can try this recipe using Cauliflower, Paneer, Mushroom and Baby corn.

I tried to make a healthier version of this recipe. Thought to bake instead of deep frying, but couldnt do so coz of power cut :(. Will definetely try baking next time. :)
