Clean and pat dry the chicken drumsticks( remove the skin) and make two or three gashes. Mix the ingredients listed under two and keep in refrigerated for at least an hour . Take out the chicken and discard the buttermilk marinade.( this helps to make the fry juicy in the center but if you are short of time you can avoid this step and follow the rest of the recipe)

Mean while remove the seeds of the dry red chilly and soak it in a little warm salt water for half an hour. Grind this into a fine paste along with ginger and garlic and a spring of curry leaves. Mix all the other ingredients listed under one and marinate the chicken for two hours. Just before frying sprinkle rice flour.Pour oil in a pan and fry this chicken in medium flame till done.
Mix together all the ingredients listed under three and fry them in the same oil that you used to fry the chicken. Arrange this on a plate and place the chicken on top. You can drizzle a few drops of lemon juice before serving.
