Semolina Crusted Fried chicken or Rawa Fried Chicken is a delicious chicken appetizer in which chicken is marinated in a green coriander-chili paste and shallow fried with a semolina coating. The marination paste used here is the same one which is used to marinate chicken in Chicken Xacuti (The Goan Chicken Curry). So usually whenever I make Xacuti, I make some extra paste to make this yummy appetizer.
Chicken appetizers are always a hit when we have guests over and when planned in advance, some good ones to make are Murg Palak ke Korme or Honey Pepper Chicken or Chicken Cafreal. However, these appetizers do take some time for marination and preparation. Hence when you are short on time and want to make some chicken appetizer, Semolina Crusted Fried Chicken is something you must try. It is so easy to make and does not require any marination. Also the ingredients required are very readily available in the kitchen.
Every time I have made it, it has been loved. Hope you like it too. Do try out this yummy starter and let us know how you like it.
