Ingredients
Marination Ingredients
- 500 gm Chicken Thighs Or Breasts boneless
- 6 tbsp Buttermilk
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground, or to taste
- 2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 1 Large Egg lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp Corn Flour
Tempering & Sauce Ingredients
- 6 Chilies green, slit lengthwise
- 10 Curry Leaves
- 7 Mint Leaves fresh
- 1 tbsp Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds jeera
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder
- 2 tbsp Yogurt
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Msg ajinomoto, optional
- 200 ml Refined Oil for frying, or vegetable oil
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum tenderness.
Prepare the Spice Mixture
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, ginger-garlic paste, and cornflour.
- Add this mixture to the marinated chicken and mix well to coat evenly. Let it sit for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Fry the Chicken
- Heat about 100ml of the oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken pieces, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside on a wire rack or paper towel to drain excess oil.
Make the Sauce
- In the same pan, add the remaining oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Then, add the curry leaves, green chilies, and mint leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
- Add the cumin seeds, coriander powder, and red chili powder. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the yogurt and salt. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, allowing the yogurt to slightly thicken.
- Finally, stir in the soy sauce and MSG (if using). Simmer for another minute.
Combine & Serve
- Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce, gently tossing to coat them evenly. Cook for another minute to heat through. Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Chicken Majestic
- For extra-crispy chicken, double-fry the pieces: fry once until partially cooked, then let them rest, and fry again until golden and crispy.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to control the spice level according to your preference. Start with less and add more gradually.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken; this will lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy chicken.
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of bone-in and boneless chicken pieces.
