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
- Break the egg into a bowl and beat with a fork.
- Add the plain flour and corn flour and mix well. Ensure no lumps remain.
- Add the chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds and garam masala to the mix. Mix well.
- Add in the salt, lemon juice and green chillies. Mix well to get a thick paste.
- Taste the marinade to check for seasoning. If needed, add more of any of the ingredients according to taste.
- Add the coriander leaves and mix well. Then add the chicken pieces and ensure every piece is evenly coated with the marinade.
- Marinate chicken for about 4 hours. You can cover and place in fridge.
- 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.
