Chicken fry with Poppy seeds

This fry is some what different from chicken fry i have in my blog. This chicken has a different taste as poppy seeds are added to the fry at the end. Usually poppy seeds are grounded to fine paste and added to the curries or fries and are cooked along with the chicken/mutton or veggies. But in this poppy seeds are added later.
