Marinate the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour, water, cumin seeds, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt to form a thick batter. Add the chicken pieces to the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
