Chicken 65 or 'hot and Spicy Chicken'!

This recipe is posted by request. I found it on www.khanakhazana.com. It was submitted by Madhavi from NJ, USA. This famous dish from Andhra region goes great with rice and sambar. Also a favorite companion on drink parties. To reduce heat in the recipe just substitute half of chili powder with shimla mirch powder.
