• 500 grams boneless chicken thighs
• 1 cup yogurt
• 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• Salt to taste Ingredient 9
• 2 cups oil

Method

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt to create a marinade.

2. 2

   Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

3. 3

   Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before frying the chicken.

4. 4

   Fry the marinated chicken pieces in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

5. 5

   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

6. 6

   Serve hot, garnished with sliced onions and fresh cilantro, or with lemon wedges on the side.
