Chicken 65

Why 65? There are so many theories existing on the internet and honestly, I don’t know which one is true. For me, the taste of fried chicken makes me forget all the reasons and the only thing you’ll remember too is – to make it again. Mustard seeds and curry leaves do the magic here. There are many variations of Chicken 65 recipe – you can make changes as per the availability of resources and your taste. Vegetarians can try Gobhi 65 with the same recipe.

I am Richa (formerly Amchi.foodie), the face behind Savory Tales. Born and brought up in Uttar Pradesh, academics took me to many cities of western India. I started my professional career as a banker with India’s leading retail bank. This enriching and wonderful experience lasted for around four years before I decided to start a new chapter of life. Marriage brought me back to Mumbai from where my professional career began. This came as a wonderful opportunity for introspection and to decide whether to maintain the status quo or to try something more aligned with my interest. Eventually, I decided to hit the pause button and reset my professional life. I have always been expressive in thoughts and find it very satisfying in penning them down into words. This passion for writing, the insane love for food and interest in photography gave birth to Savory Tales, my food blog. I also love travelling and share my travel stories with my audience. This blog also gave wings to my dormant love for photography. Now, I passionately take pictures of the food around me or cooked by me. I am exploring food styling, photography and blogging every day and I am cherishing this phase.
