Chicken Majestic recipe is made with long thin chicken strips that are very well marinated with yogurt and spices then shallow fried and coated with spices to make it super spicy starter.

At one time (5 or 6 years ago) Mayuri's Restaurant Catering Food was famous at our parties in Dallas. I like their Babycorn Majestic ( appetizer that is made with BabyCorn) on their catering menu. When i saw this Chicken Majestic recipe at Nag's space, that took me back in time and reminded me of Babycorn Majestic flavors. So I couldn't resist ( i mean to cook, not to eat ;-)) and tried this Chicken Majestic recipe on the following weekend. This came out too good that even my mom-in-law (who was not eating chicken this year) couldn't resist and tried. And obviously on that day Chicken Lovers at my house father-in-law, Vj and Anvi, Aaah Ooohed about this spicy tongue tickling starter. I have almost followed the recipe from Edible Garden but with some variations to suit my family needs. Here is my version of this recipe, Njoy!
