1 tsp. salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. black pepper powder
1 tsp. ginger paste
1 tsp. garlic paste

4 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. ginger paste
1/2 tsp. Garlic paste
1/2 tsp. black pepper powder
1 tsp. chili powder
2 tbsp. chili tomato sauce / ketchup
4 tbsp. freshly chopped coriander leaves
4 tbsp. water
Few drops red food color (optional)
1/4 cup thick plain yogurt (whipped)
Sliced onions for garnish
Instructions
Marinate the chicken cubes in the marinade ingredients for
at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
Heat oil for deep frying in a deep pan. Lower the flame, and
add in the chicken pieces slowly. (Do not over crowd the pan). Fry for not more
than 3 minutes. Do not over-fry, it will result in hard chicken. Remove and set
aside to drain on kitchen towels.
Take another pan, add oil. Add ginger & garlic and fry
for a minute. Next add black pepper powder, cumin powder, chili powder, and
salt to taste. Then add chili tomato sauce/ketchup and fry for about 1-2
minutes on medium flame.
Add little water (a few tbsp.) and cook for a minute on
medium flame. Add red food color, mix well and throw in the fried chicken
pieces. Mix them well so that the spices coat nicely. Add yogurt and mix well
to coat the chicken. Increase the flame to high and cook till the yogurt is
absorbed fully. Taste and adjust salt/spices. Turn off the heat.
You can garnish with sliced onions, salad etc. and serve
hot. Goes well as a side dish for fried rice, fries etc.
Enjoy!
