Introduction
A unique and flavorful village feast recipe where chicken drumsticks are steamed with ginger-garlic paste and bay leaves, then deboned. The shredded meat is combined with boiled mashed potatoes, hand-ground spices, and flour, shaped back onto the leg bones, coated in egg wash and breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to crispy golden perfection in traditional gingelly oil.
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and place them in a large boiling vessel with water. Set a metal stand over the potatoes and cover it with fresh banana leaves.
Step 2
Wash the chicken drumsticks. Place them on a clean white cloth, add bay leaves and ginger-garlic paste, then tie the cloth securely into a bundle. Place this bundle on top of the banana leaves in the steaming vessel, cover, and steam-cook.
Step 3
Once cooked, carefully remove the steamed chicken bundle, banana leaves, and metal stand. Scoop out the boiled potatoes into a separate container to cool.
Step 4
Open the chicken bundle. Hand-shred the cooked chicken meat, separating it entirely from the bones. Keep the clean drumstick bones aside for reshaping.
Step 5
Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them completely using hand-held potato mashers until smooth.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Steaming the chicken in a cloth bundle locks in the flavor of the ginger-garlic paste and bay leaves while keeping the meat juicy.
Ensure the clean bones are dry before molding the meat mixture back onto them, which helps the mixture stick better.
All-purpose flour acts as a crucial binder; do not skip it, or the mixture may disintegrate in the hot frying oil.
Using traditional gingelly oil (sesame oil) gives the fried chicken a unique, rich aroma and flavor.
