Instructions

1

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

2

Add yogurt and flours: Stir in yogurt, cornflour, rice flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for better flavor).

3

Heat oil: In a deep pan or kadai, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot (around 350°F or 175°C).

4

Fry the chicken: Carefully add marinated chicken pieces in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy (about 5-6 minutes per batch). Drain on paper towels.

5

Temper with curry leaves (optional): In a small pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add curry leaves, and fry for a few seconds until crisp. Pour this over the fried chicken for extra aroma.

6

Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with lemon wedges and onion rings.

Chef's Tips

  • For extra heat: Add 1-2 chopped green chilies to the marinade.
  • Crispiness tip: Double-fry the chicken for extra crunch—fry once, let it rest for 5 minutes, then fry again briefly.
  • No deep-fry option: Shallow fry or air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Color boost: A pinch of red food color can enhance the dish’s signature look (optional).
  • Serving suggestion: Pair with mint chutney or a cooling raita to balance the spice.
