Instructions

  1. Whisk the dahi well until obtaining a smooth consistency. Set aside.

  3. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  4. Heat a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil.
  5. Add the cumin, mustard, garlic, curry leaves and green hot peppers.
  6. Brown them, stirring frequently, until the curry leaves become crisp.
  7. Then add the garlic paste, garam masala, red pepper flakes, sugar, dahi (or 1 teaspoon of vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water), and salt.
  8. Mix everything together quickly and, when the mixture is bubbling and becomes thick, add the fried chicken and mix well.
