Chicken 65......gone wrong, gone right

Ok below is the recipe of my Chicken 65, dry and here is the story of how it went wrong and then right...while marinating discovered I didn't have rice flour and instead of grinding some rice which wld hv taken 2 mins, I used corn starch instead...heated some oil, and put the chicken in the oil…the oil wasn't really hot, the chicken was ice cold, instead of frying in batches as usual, dunked the entire marinated chicken in the kadhai...result...everything stuck to the kadhai...the more I stirred the more the marinade spread in the kadhai...there was no other back up plan so put some water in the kadhai and lowered the flame...yes it was only now that I realized that I was doing all that on high flame...anyway, stirred and got off all the crispy corn starch masala off the kadhai (crispy and still not burned)...put in some more water, covered and cooked till done...perfect with rice...oily, spicy, yummy...I need to do this again soon J

P.S they say don't drink and drive...they should say, don't drink and cook as well!!
