  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional)

For Frying:

  • Oil, for deep frying

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
  • In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces, salt, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, ginger paste, garlic paste, black pepper powder, and instant noodles masala (if using). Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  1. Prepare the Coating:
  • In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, corn flour, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and turmeric powder (if using).
  1. Heat the Oil:
  • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to about 180°C (350°F).
  1. Coat the Chicken:
  • Take each marinated chicken piece and roll it in the coating mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
  1. Fry the Chicken:
  • Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Fry for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  1. Drain and Serve:
  • Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a meal.
