Clean chicken and drain water. Cut it into small pieces so that it can absorb spices and get fried easily.
-
Add little salt and turmeric powder and marinate for an hour with lid covered. Usually, we add only two ingredients while marinating to increase its shelf life.
-
Heat 250 gms oil ( oil depends on the quantity of meat we want to make pickle).
-
Once the oil is heated, add pieces and deep fry till they turn a golden brown colour. Transfer to another bowl and keep aside.
-
In the remaining oil add freshly made ginger garlic paste and fry till it loses its raw flavour and turns its colour.
-
Add chicken fry pieces, sprinkle a little salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder (adjust as per your taste, our version is spicy so if you want you can lower by 2 tablespoons).
-
Extract lemon juice when making of pickle is done. If you are extracting lemon juice in before then add a little salt to it so that it doesn’t turn bitter.
-
Mix all ingredients and transfer Chicken Pickle in an airtight container and keep in moisture-free place.
