Preparation
- In a mixing bowl add chicken, pepper, sugar, Kashmiri, turmeric, fresh ginger & garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and hing if using. Mix everything together to cover chicken with spices. Once mixed, add in flour and cornstarch, mix well again.
- In a deep pot, bring oil to about 350*F for frying. Pot should have enough oil to submerge chicken. Drop in battered chicken making sure not to overcrowd the pot, fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the oil with a slotted spoon or spider and place on a plate with a paper towel.
- Make tadka: in a small pot heat 1/2 cup of oil over medium-high heat, add in coriander seeds, whole black peppercorns, julienned ginger, red chili pepper, green chili and curry leaves. Let the flavors infuse the oil for about 3 minutes, until oil starts to color spices.
- Plate fresh cilantro to make a nest, place fried chicken on top, and then spoon your tadka and crispy bits from the oil over the top of the chicken. Top with a little extra lime juice and enjoy!
