What you need
  • Marination:
  • 250 gm boneless chicken, cut into small pieces;
  • 1 tsp grated/paste ginger;
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic or garlic paste;
  • 1 tbsp lemon/lime juice;
  • 1 tbsp yogurt;
  • 1 egg;
  • 10-15 fresh curry leaves;
  • pinch of turmeric powder;
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper;
  • ½ tsp salt or as per taste;
  • 2 tbsp rice or corn flour.
  • Seasoning:
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds;
  • 1 tsp garlic;
  • 1 or 2 green chillies (as per taste);
  • ½ or 1 tsp red chilli powder (as per taste);
  • few curry leaves;
  • 2 tbsp yogurt;
  • 2 tbsp water;
  • oil to fry.
Method
  1. Into a big bowl mix all the marination ingredients. Set aside for at least 1 hour. Overnight marination is the best for a soft chicken.
  2. Once the chicken is marinated, heat oil in a deep pan. Stir and fry the chicken until it gets cooked and golden brown in color, on both sides. Once cooked, remove it on a kitchen tissue.
  3. In the same deep pan, heat some more oil if needed. Add cumin seeds and when they start to sizzle, add garlic, green chilli and curry leaves. Stir fry for one minute then add red chilli powder, 2 tbsp yogurt and 2 tbsp water. Stir for 30 seconds. Add fried chicken and toss on medium heat for 2 minutes.
  4. Serve hot as starter or side dish.
