Chicken 65 Gravy Recipe

Chicken 65 is a popular recipe of South Indian cuisine. Boneless pieces of chicken are marinated with different spices, flour and curry leaves and thereafter deep fried in oil.


Chicken 65 is one of the popular dishes of South Indian cuisine.  Chicken 65 is a spicy, deep fried tasty chicken delicacy, originated in Chennai, India. It was first introduced in 1965 by the Buhari Hotel Restaurant in Chennai.

Boneless pieces of chicken are marinated with different spices, flour and curry leaves and thereafter deep fried in oil. Chicken 65 can be served as dry or as gravy. For gravy, the flour coated chicken pieces are again sauteed into a spicy curd gravy.

Although the chicken 65 is  a boneless chicken dish, I also use pieces of chicken with bones because my kids like it that way.
   
The recipe is not that complicated and I have used simple home ingredients which I store in my kitchen. Serve chicken 65 as a starter or as a side dish.

The mango tree is considered as the best souce. The ants together with their white coloured eggs are collected to consume.  The taste of ants are sour.

Ahom Bogori (Peach)

Ahom Bogori (Assamese আহোম বগৰী)  in English is called Peach. It's scientific name is Prunus persica. Peaches resembles and closely related to apricots and plums. Peaches are soft when ripened and are very delicious. Unlike apricot and plum, peaches have one large middle seed.  As I googled I found that peach fruit was domesticated and cultivated for the first time in Northwest China. It's a summer fruit and largely available in Assam. It is believed that the name ' Ahom bogori ' is derived from the Kingdom of Ahom . It may be because the Ahoms have brought with them the seeds of peach.  Ahom is a large community originally from the Chinese province of Yunnan, which is located on Southwest China. From Yunnan, they migrated into Myanmar and then after crossing the Patkai Mountains entered Assam. The Ahoms have established their dynasty and ruled the Ahom Kingdom, the present day Assam for about 600 years.  We call this fruit as ahom bogori from childhood.  B

Dillenia Indica commonly known as Elephant  Apple or  Ou tenga  is a fruit ,  sour in taste and very native to Assamese cuisine.

Namsing : A Mishing Delicacy

 Mishing are an ethnic community living in parts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. Unlike other Assamese cuisines, Mishing cuisine is also unique of its kind. Mishing people are mainly non-vegetarian and rice is their main food. They eat different greens and herbs as vegetable together with fish, pork, chicken, duck meat etc. Namsing is a very popular dish among Mishing people. Namsing is nothing but dry and grounded fish . Dry and grounded fish is equally popular among other ethnic groups of Assam also but they call it hukoti .  The method of preparation of namsing is little different from hukoti. In preparing namsing Mishing people also add few herbs like colocasia leaves, long coriander etc. Small river fishes are used to make namsing. At first they clean the fishes and then dry them under sun or on smoke over stove top. After that they grounded the dry fishes together with different herbs in husking pedal (dhaki). They use bamboo tubes and filled the tubes with the grounded mixture

Pork with mustard greens (Lai xaak)

Mustard green is a green leafy vegetable. I love its taste.  Its little bitter but it taste good once cooked.  Many recipes can be made with this beautiful green leafy vegetable. Fish with mustard greens , mustard greens stir fry, mustard green raw chutney,  boiled mustard greens are some of the mustard greens recipes.    Pork with mustard greens is a very special recipe of  Assam . Use full grown mature and soft mustard green leaves only. This recipe is very simple and very less spices are used. Assamese cuisine  is in fact less spicy compared to other Indian cuisines.  Pork with mustard greens is served as a side dish with rice. Assam is a rice eating state and Assamese generally eat rice at lunch and dinner.  So this pork  recipe can be served at lunch and dinner with steamed rice. But some people don't like to have leafy vegetables at night.  So for them serve at lunch only. Pork with mustard greens (Lai xaak) 📎 Course :  Main course  📎Cuisine :  Indian
