Make the Batter

The way you cut the chicken is important. If you cut the chicken breasts into cubes, it tends to become dry. Slice the chicken on a diagonal angle. This will ensure that the chicken remains moist even after being fried.

You don’t need tons of oil to deep fry the battered chicken pieces. In fact, I always shallow fry the chicken, and it turns out perfect.

This recipe gets its unique flavour primarily from curry leaves. Curry leaves have a very unique flavor/aroma, so there’s no exact substitute for it. You can however, make this chicken without it, but the taste won’t be same of course.

When starting the tempering/seasoning part of this recipe, keep all the ingredients ready because you have to work quickly during this step.
