Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • Combine chicken, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, egg, all-purpose flour, and corn flour in a bowl. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Deep Fry the Chicken

  • Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Carefully add the marinated chicken pieces, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Deep fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce

  • Heat oil in a separate wok or pan. Add ginger and garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the green chilies and curry leaves and sauté for another minute.

Combine and Simmer

  • Stir in the hung curd (thick yogurt), remaining red chili powder, and red food coloring (optional). Cook for a minute, stirring constantly. Add the fried chicken pieces and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring gently to coat the chicken evenly. Do not add water.

Garnish and Serve

  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot as a snack or appetizer.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Chicken 65:

  • For extra crispy chicken, double fry the pieces: fry once until partially cooked, then let cool slightly before frying again until golden brown.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level. Start with less and add more if needed.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when deep frying the chicken; this will lower the temperature of the oil and result in greasy chicken.
  • If your hung curd is too thin, you can strain it through a cheesecloth to remove excess whey before adding it to the sauce.
