Ingredients:

Chicken breast, cut into large chunks		550 gms
Red onion		1
Garlic cloves		3 large
Ginger (about the same quantity as garlic)		3 pieces
Tbsp Olive oil		3-4
Tomatoes roughly chopped		2
Salt, divided plus for sprinkling		1 tsp
Pepper, divided plus for sprinkling		1 tsp
Dried chili flakes		1/2 tsp
Plain /All purpose flour		1 1/2 cup- 2 cups
Oil for frying in batches		As required

Method:

We use a microwave oven to saute the ingredients, in this recipe, for ease and convenience. If you do not have a mocrowave oven, saute the ingredients, on meldium flames to achieve the same texture and consistency as in the video.

Method:

1. Add the garlic, ginger and the roughly chopped onion to a small processor to get a finely chopped texture. Don’t grind to a paste. Some texture should remain. Of course, you can do this by hand, but it would take a whole lot more time to get the finely chopped texture.
2. Add the finely chopped mix to a microwave safe bowl. Pour in the olive oil and mix well.
3. Microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes. Open and stir, Microwave another 30 seconds.
4. Meanwhile, add the roughly chopped tomato to the same processor and grind to get a fresh puree.
5. Add this fresh tomato puree to the bowl of microwave sauteed ingredients. Stir well.
6. Microwave again on HIGH for 3 minutes at a time, opening to stir. We should get a thickened paste. It took me 9 minutes, total.
7. Add half a teaspoon each of salt and pepper to the sauteed paste and allows to cool off a bit.
8. Pat dry the chicken pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
9. Add the prepared paste and rub well into the chicken pieces. Also, add the chili flakes.
10. Prick gently all over with a fork to help penetrate the flavors.
11. Set aside to marinate in this cooked mixture for 30 minutes.
12. Heat oil for deep frying in batches.
13. Add the flour to a large bowl and add the remaining salt and pepper to season.
14. Coat each piece with the flour coating. Make sure to coat thoroughly. Since the marinade is sticky, the flour adheres easily here without any bunding agent.
15. Add one batch at a time to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd. Once in oil, leave without moving for the first 1 1 and a half minute. This is to prevent the coating from coming off.
16. After 1-2 minutes, turn over the pieces gently and fry the other side, another 2 minutes, max. Do not over fry.
17. Once golden and crisp remove to kitchen paper towel.
18. Serve with garlic chilli mayo dip!
