chicken drumsticks for busy nights

Its been so long since I removed dust form here each year I tell myself I will try to update this space more often but I fail with the laptop plugged and trying to remember the password and other things it feels good to write here without inhibition of time or thinking about hashtag.
Yesterday after a long time we both were alone at home advay loves to eat chicken drumsticks
I didn't do much effort marinated the chicken drumsticks with curd, ginger garlic paste and meat masala .
After few minutes pan fried the same. While I paired it with cranberry bread advay had with chapathi.
This is best for weekends or when you don't have much time.
