TIPS to make perfect Andhra Chicken Fry:

If we are using chicken with skin, clean them with salt and turmeric powder to disinfect.
Slice them into small pieces and marinate with a blend of spices for 30 minutes.
We can add little water while cooking chicken to get soft meat or else leave as it is.
If we are using country chicken then we need to add adequate water to cook chicken and then roast.
When we put a lid and cook on low flame water released from the chicken is enough to cook it by giving it perfect roasting flavour.
When we use a non-stick pan, until there is oil at the bottom, they will be cooked.
We need to stir occasionally so that they do not get burnt and change its flavour.
