Magic Spice Powder : You can store the left over powder in the airtight container and I would like to highlight that this Magic Spice powder would give marvelous taste in your recipes. The aroma fulfills your house when you add this to the meat.
Another time saving and super quick chicken fry from Crazy tasty cook and this recipe taste so delicious. You can adjust the spiciness by adding more green chilli's and red chilli while tempering.
Note : Please do not burn the spices while roasting as it might give a bitter taste (if it is burnt), so please take your time to dry roast it in a low flame.
