Ingredients
- 3 skinless chicken breasts, cut into finger-sized strips
- 2 medium onions, sliced
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 100g plain flour
- 50g cornflour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 green chilli, deseeded and chopped
- Handful of fresh curry leaves (optional)
Method
1. Put the chicken and onions in a large bowl with all the spices and a good pinch of salt; toss to evenly coat the chicken. Leave for 20 mins or longer, if you can.
2. Scatter the flour, cornflour and baking powder over the chicken, and stir in 4 tbsp water to make a thick, sticky batter that clings to the meat. Add the green chilli, curry leaves (if using) and a pinch more salt.
3. Heat a 2 - 3cm depth of oil in a large frying pan until a drop of batter sizzles straightaway. In batches, lower the chicken and onion pieces into oil using two spoons. Fry for 4-5 mins, turning, until deep golden, crisp and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm as you fry the rest. Serve with naan bread, coleslaw and yoghurt sauce, if liked.
