  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Mix with yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350F (175C).

    💡 The finish.

  4. 4

    Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess. Coat lightly with rice flour.

    💡 Toast until raw smell disappears.

  5. 5

    Fry chicken in batches for 6-8 minutes until golden and crispy.

    💡 Low and slow yields tender results.

  6. 6

    Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with Chaat Masala.

    💡 Taste and adjust salt last.
