   Assalamualikum.
Hope y'all are having a great Ramadan Kareem and enjoying the blessings in this blissful month. Today here I am with a very easy recipe for your aftaar dastarkhuwans.

 Ingredients:

 FOR MARINATION:

1.5 kg chicken          

1.5 tsp garlic paste
3  tbsp chilli sauce
2  tbsp ketchup
1.5  tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (grounded)
1 tsp white pepper powder

 Marinate the chicken and leave it for 4-5 hours.

 
FOR BATTER:

1/2 cup Maida+1 tsp baking powder. Sift them in a bowl.
2tbsp cornflour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp (a little more than half) Cayenne pepper {Laal Mirch}
1/2 tsp (a little more than half) white pepper powder
Chilled milk

Mix the dry ingredients and add chilled milk, making a thin batter.


FOR COATING:

1 cup maida+1.5 tsp baking powder.


Procedure:

Dip the marinated chicken pieces into the batter completely. Then roll them in the coating (maida+baking powder). Now deep fry.
You can double coat the chicken pieces by again rolling each piece before frying.

     

Fry for around 20 minutes or until brown in color. Make sure not to touch the frying chicken too often.

P.S Sorry for not putting up the pictures of batter as I was running out of time and had to fry it very quickly for aftaar.

Here you go!
               

So do try out this easy peasy recipe for aftaar. I'm sure it will turn out great insha'Allah. ツ

And then prepared "ButterCream Icing" for further colorful decorations.

Recipe for "ButterCream Icing":

Icing sugar 2 to 2  1/2 cups
Butter 100 gms
Vanilla extract 1tsp


Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time beating well on medium speed. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add in a tsp of milk if icing is too rough. Now beat on low speed until light and fluffy.

Fill it in the piping bag, fit in the desired decorating tip and start decorating!
