Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken breast
• 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Kashmiri red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 large Egg
• 3 tablespoons Rice flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 15 leaves Curry leaves
• 500 ml Vegetable oil
• 2 sliced Green chilies
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, ground coriander, chopped garlic, grated ginger, and salt to the chicken. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken well.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

Step 4

Beat the egg in a small bowl and pour it over the marinated chicken.

Step 5

Sprinkle rice flour and cornstarch evenly over the chicken. Mix until you have a thick coating on each chicken piece.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Step 8

Remove the fried chicken pieces with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 9

In a separate pan, add a tablespoon of oil and sauté the curry leaves and green chilies until aromatic.

Step 10

Toss the fried chicken in the sautéed curry leaves and green chilies for extra flavor.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot.
