  • 2 spoons of red chilli sauce
  • 1/2 spoon turmeric powder haldi
  • 1 spoon black pepper powder

  • 1 spoon red chilli powder
  • 1 small spoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 small spoon chaat masala or chicken masala powder
  • 1/2 small spoon salt
  • 1 spoon cornflour optional, for extra crunch

Other Requirements:

  • Oil for deep frying

Instructions
 

  • Wash 1/2 kg of chicken strips properly and drain all the water.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the chicken, 2 spoons of vinegar, 1 spoon of soy sauce, and 2 spoons of red chilli sauce.
  • Add 1/2 spoon turmeric, 1 spoon black pepper, 1.5 spoons red chilli powder, 2 spoons ginger-garlic-chilli paste, salt, and crack 1 egg into the bowl.
  • Mix everything very well with your hands. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
  • In another wide bowl, make the dry coating by mixing 3 bowls of all-purpose flour, 1 spoon red chilli powder, 1 spoon garlic powder, 1/2 spoon chaat masala, and 1/2 spoon salt.
  • Take a marinated chicken piece and put it in the dry flour mixture. Press the flour tightly onto the chicken using your hands. Shake off the extra flour.
  • Quickly dip the coated chicken piece into a bowl of ice-cold water and immediately take it out.
  • Put the wet chicken back into the dry flour mixture. Press the flour onto the chicken again very firmly to create flaky layers. Shake off the extra flour.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan. The oil must be very hot.
  • Carefully drop the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil. Do not touch or stir them for 1 minute.
  • Fry on medium-high heat for 4 to 5 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil and drain excess oil.
