- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp garlic paste

- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tbsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (optional)
For Frying:

Instructions
- 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.
- Prepare the Coating:
- In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, corn flour, salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and turmeric powder (if using).
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to about 180°C (350°F).
- Coat the Chicken:
- Take each marinated chicken piece and roll it in the coating mixture until fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- 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.
- 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.
