Dhaniya Chicken Legs

POWDER!!??

Yea..thats the reaction i expect from everybody...but dont loose hope..its a total hit everytime its made..

I like asking people what they think when i say powder chicken...well i got some hilarious answers..but this one beats them all...a white colored chicken...dry and powdery..

Well ..believe it or not..its one of the easiest chicken starter I've ever made..and when you see people digging their fingers in the big pot you cooked this in...well it sure gets you smiling...and satisfied !

This recipe is inspired by my cousin's MIL...thanks to her.

You can make this dish into a gravy dish by making a onion-tomato gravy..or just pour in a tin of coconut milk...tastes heavenly either ways.


Rack your brains:
Chicken is generally quite a healthy food.
As a source of protein it is one of the best, as it contains very little fat compared to other sources of meat.
However, the preparation of the chicken should be considered, as well as the type or parts of the chicken that are being consumed.
If you have severe cholestrol problems, they say chicken may not be good for you, as it contains a considerable amount of cholestrol, as much as red meat.
