Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, chopped curry leaves, yogurt, garlic, ginger, chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, salt, coriander, cardamom, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the chicken is coated evenly. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully meld. (2 hours - overnight)

03

Step

Just before frying, gently stir in the cornstarch and rice flour until the chicken is lightly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat until it reaches a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Add the slit green chilies, if using. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Fry the chicken for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, and cooked through. (5-7 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the fried chicken with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Garnish with additional fresh curry leaves, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy immediately!

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of lemon or lime juice just before serving.
Adjust the amount of chili powder according to your spice preference. Kashmiri chili powder is known for its vibrant color and mild heat.
If you don't have rice flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour, but the rice flour contributes to a crispier texture.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to prevent it from becoming soggy. However, be careful not to overheat the oil, as this can cause the chicken to burn on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.

    The overnight marinade is a game-changer. It really infuses the chicken with all the spices.
