  • Garlic – 7–8 cloves

  • Ginger – 1-inch piece

  • Green chilies – 4–5
    → (Blend garlic, ginger, and green chilies into a paste using a chopper or blender)

  • Egg – 1

  • Corn flour – ½ cup

  • All-purpose flour – ⅓ cup

  • Salt – to taste

  • Tandoori masala – 2 tbsp

  • Tikka masala – 1 tbsp

  • Hot sauce (optional) – 1 tbsp

  • Red food color (optional) – a pinch




For the Coating:

  • All-purpose flour – 2 cups

  • Salt – 1 tsp

  • Black pepper – ½ tsp

  • Tandoori masala – 1 tsp

  • Yellow food color – a pinch

For Frying:

  • Vegetable oil (canola, peanut, or sunflower oil) – enough for deep frying



🔥 How to Make Crispy Fried Chicken

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture
    In a large bowl, add the chicken pieces. Mix in the garlic-ginger-chili paste, egg, corn flour, flour, spices, salt, and hot sauce. Coat the chicken well. (No need to marinate, but you can soak in buttermilk for extra tenderness.)

  2. Prepare the Coating
    In a separate bowl, mix all coating ingredients: flour, salt, pepper, tandoori masala, and yellow food color.

  3. Coat the Chicken
    Roll each chicken piece in the dry coating mixture. Press firmly so the coating sticks well for extra crunch.

  4. Fry the Chicken
    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken in batches, without overcrowding. Cook until golden brown and crispy (about 10–12 minutes depending on size), turning occasionally.

  5. Drain & Serve
    Remove and place on a wire rack or paper towels. Let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dips or sauces!
