Preparation
Prep: 10 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes
- For the marination, take a bowl and mix chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, curd and salt together. This marination step is very important and will give the chicken its real flavour.
- Wash the chicken in cold running water and cut it into pieces. When done, add the chicken pieces in the above mixture and marinate them. Once the chicken pieces are well coated, keep them aside for 4-6 hours so that flavours are well absorbed.
- Now, take a deep-bottomed pan and heat oil in it over medium flame. Once the oil is sufficiently hot, carefully put the marinated chicken pieces in the oil and shallow fry till cooked or golden on both sides.
- Now, remove and cook the chicken pieces in a separate pan without oil over low flame. This step will make the chicken crispier. Once done, add the green chillies, curry leaves and ketchup. Mix well till the chicken pieces are well coated and continue to cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer the dish in a serving bowl and garnish with chopped spring onions. Serve as a snack or you can pair it with drinks of your choice.
