Fried Chicken Kabab


I lived in Bangalore for quite a few years and one of my favourite dishes introduced to me by my cousin, was the Empire and Imperial fried Kababs. Pure evil I say with all the calories but so tasty that you'll come back for more. This is not the exact recipe but who cares... it's fried chicken after all :D
Enjoy.


Ingredients

1/2 kg boneless Chicken, cut into small pieces
2 tbsp Plain flour
1 tbsp Corn flour
1 Egg
1 tbsp Ginger & Garlic, minced
1 medium sized Lemon
1 tbsp Red Chili powder
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Cumin
2 Green chilies, finely chopped
1 tbsp Coriander leaves, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying

Method
  1. Break the egg into a bowl and beat with a fork.
  2. Add the plain flour and corn flour and mix well. Ensure no lumps remain.
  3. Add the chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds and garam masala to the mix. Mix well.
  4. Add in the salt, lemon juice and green chillies. Mix well to get a thick paste.
  5. Taste the marinade to check for seasoning. If needed, add more of any of the ingredients according to taste.
  6. Add the coriander leaves and mix well. Then add the chicken pieces and ensure every piece is evenly coated with the marinade.
  7. Marinate chicken for about 4 hours. You can cover and place in fridge.
  8. To cook the kababs, heat the oil in a wok or deep pan and deep fry till crispy and golden brown.

    Serve hot. Goes great with a dash of lemon.

I didn't add any colouring. This is the natural colour from the chilli powder :)
