Clean the chicken cubes and dry well with a paper towel.

Rub well this mixture onto the chicken pieces.
Cover and store in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
After 3 hrs, remove and thaw at room temperature.
Add oil in a wide skillet and fry the chicken pieces in batches.
Keep on medium or low medium flame to allow the inside to cook well.
Remove and place in the paper towel to drain off the excess oil.
Remove the excess oil and saute curry leaves and green chillies in the same pan.
Add the chicken pieces and fry for a couple of minutes.
For making the salad: 1)Mix together thin slices of an onion, lime juice, red chilly powder and salt.
:- Serve the fried Chicken 65 with the onion salad.
Tips: i)Allow enough space in the skillet to turn the pieces. Don`t crowd the skillet with pieces.
ii)Deep frying is not required. It`s enough, if the lower half of the chicken pieces are in oil.
iii )Don`t use high heat for frying. Wait until the chicken pieces are rich brown colour.
