Instructions
Marinate
- In a large bowl mix together all the ingredients for the marinade: 1 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon grated garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, ½ teaspoon garam masala, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 1 tablespoon all purpose flour, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons coconut milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add 1 kilo boneless chicken and mix to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and leave the chicken to marinate for 1 hour.
Frying in a skillet
- Heat the vegetable oil for frying in a large heavy bottomed skillet on high heat and fry the chicken in batches. Transfer the cooked chicken to kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
Using in an air fryer
- Preheat the air fryer to 200℃/400℉ for 3 minutes. Cook the chicken in batches: arrange chicken in the basket like in a frying pan, so they don't touch or overlap. Set the timer to cook for 8 minutes then remove the cooked chicken from the basket and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
Sauce
- In a large pan on medium-low heat, dry toast 1 teaspoon mustard seeds for a minute then add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2 Kashmiri red chilli, 2 medium green chillies, 2 cloves garlic, ½ salt salt and 10 curry leaves. Lightly fry the spices for around 30 seconds then turn the heat to low, stirring in 140 grams Greek yogurtook for another 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken and stir gently for 1-2 minutes till all the chicken is well coated in the sauce then remove from the heat.
- Cool slightly before tasting for seasoning and add more salt if required. Garnish with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken - If the kitchen is cool (around 15-25℃ or 59-77℉), you can leave the chicken to marinate on the counter, otherwise keep in the fridge and remove 30 minutes to bring to room temperature before cooking.
- To check if the oil is hot enough for frying - dip a wooden spoon and if bubbles form around it, you can start frying.
