Cooking Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cornflour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.
Heat Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot.
Fry the Chicken
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken pieces in batches. Fry them until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Add Curry Leaves and Green Chilies
In the same hot oil, add the curry leaves and slit green chilies. Fry for a few seconds until they become crisp. This will add flavor to the dish.
Combine and Serve
Add the fried chicken back into the pan, toss well with the curry leaves and green chilies. Drizzle with lemon juice and serve hot.
