Ingredients
  

  • Chicken Breast- 500 gms
  • Green Chilies-3 chopped
  • Rice Flour- 2 tbsp
  • Coriander leaves-3 tbsp chopped
  • Besan- 1 Cup 120 gms
  • Turmeric Powder- 1/2-tsp
  • Red Chili powder- 1/2-tsp
  • Cumin powder- 1/2-tsp
  • Aamchoor Powder- 1-tsp
  • Carom Seeds Ajwain 1/2-tsp
  • Ginger Garlic paste- 1.5-tbsp
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooking Oil

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, put besan. Add rice flour. Add green chilies and coriander leaves. Add salt to taste.
  • Add water gradually for making batter. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients instead of a spoon. We have used about 3/4th cup of water for making batter. Ensure batter has spoon coating consistency.
  • Allow this batter to rest for an hour.
  • Cut chicken breast into uniform sized pieces. In a large bowl, put chicken cubes. Add 1-tbsp cooking oil.
  • Add Ginger-Garlic paste, Carom seeds (ajwain), aamchoor powder, cumin seeds powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder and 1-tsp salt. Mix well. Allow marinated chicken to rest for an hour.
  • After an hour, dip some chicken pieces (5-6) in batter and coat it well.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil for deep frying in a thick bottom pan. To check temperature of Oil, slide in small amount of batter in Oil. Batter should rise on Oil surface but should not turn brown immediately.
  • Now, drop batter coated chicken pieces into the Oil and fry on medium heat.
  • Make sure chicken is cooked on medium heat so that it gets cooked properly and turns crispier.
  • Cook each batch for about 4-5 mins on medium heat. Fry remaining chicken pieces in batches.
