To begin making the Andhra Chicken Fry recipe, put chicken cubes and all the ingredients listed under marination including turmeric powder, red chilli powder, ginger garlic paste, hung yogurt, salt in a bowl and mix it well.

Make sure that chicken pieces are coated properly. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for an hour.

Once the chicken is marinated, take it out from fridge and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a kadhai/wok and add fennel seeds, curry leaves and chopped green chillies into the wok. Saute it for couple of seconds but make sure it doesn't burn.

Now, add ginger garlic paste and saute for couple of seconds until the raw smell of ginger garlic goes away.

Next step is to add onion and cook it till the time it becomes soft and translucent.

Once the onions are soft, add the cubed tomatoes and cook till they become mushy.

Once the tomatoes are soft and mushy, add the marinated chicken pieces and marination batter into the wok. Add garam masala powder and cook it for 10 minutes on medium heat.

After 10 minutes, add coriander powder, red chilli powder into the wok and give it a good mix and cook the chicken again for 5 minutes on high heat.Y ou have to make sure that chicken gets dry and there is no gravy left.

In the end sprinkle black pepper powder and adjust salt as per your taste. 

Cook for few more minutes till the chicken is cooked properly. Serve it hot and garnish with some onion rings.
