Ingredients:

1-kilo chicken
1cup yogurt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

2 tablespoon Maida/ all purpose flour
1 tablespoon corn flour
2 tablespoon red chilli powder
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 teaspoon coriander powder
2 tablespoon ginger and garlic paste
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon red food colour (optional)
Juice of 2 lime or to taste
Salt as per taste
Oil for frying

How to Cook:

Marination:

Stage 1:  In a bowl add chicken,  yogurt 1/2 lime juice and turmeric powder.  Mix well and allow to marinate to 2 hours.

After 2 hours drain the excess yogurt from the chicken.

Stage 2:  In a bowl mix all the ingredients from Maida to salt. Add a few drops of water if the batter is very thick.
Now add chicken pieces and mix to coat well.
Cover and refrigerate overnight or for minimum 3 hours.  ( Resting tenderizes the chicken and it absorbs flavours well)

Frying:

Heat oil on high heat in a deep vessel. Reduce the heat to medium-high and start adding chicken pieces.
A few pieces at a time.

Fry for 4 to 5 min turning occasionally

Drain on paper towel and serve hot with few lime wedges and onion rings.
