📝 Ingredients
For the Marination:
-
250g boneless chicken (cut into long fry-style strips)
-
2 tbsp yogurt
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
1 tbsp tandoori masala
-
½ tsp red chili powder
-
½ tsp garlic paste
-
½ tsp ginger paste
-
Salt to taste
For Coating & Frying:
-
1 egg (beaten)
-
½ cup cornflour
-
¼ cup rice flour
-
Oil for deep frying
👨🍳 Instructions
🔹 Step 1: Prepare the Marination
In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, tandoori masala, chili powder, garlic paste, ginger paste, and salt. Mix until smooth. Add the chicken strips and coat well. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes — the longer the better for maximum flavor.
🔹 Step 2: Coat the Chicken
Once marinated, beat one egg in a small bowl. In another bowl, mix the cornflour and rice flour. Dip each chicken strip in the egg first, then roll in the dry flour mix until fully coated.
🔹 Step 3: Deep Fry
Heat oil in a deep pan on medium flame. Carefully add the coated chicken strips in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4–5 minutes. Place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy chicken fries with garlic mayo, green chutney, or a spicy ketchup dip. They’re perfect on their own or paired with fries, paratha rolls, or even stuffed in a burger for a spicy kick.
You can also sprinkle some chaat masala and lemon juice right after frying for that extra zingy finish.
💡 Tips & Tricks

Don’t skip rice flour – it helps create that extra crispy crust.
-
