Ingredients:
For the Batter Fried Chicken:
| Boneless chicken breast, cut into small strips or diced | 550-600 gms | |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp | |
| Black pepper powder | 1/2 tsp | |
| Egg | 1 fresh | |
| Tapioca flour/ starch | 1/2 cup | |
| Sweet Potato flour/ starch | 1/3 cup | |
| Red pepper flakes | 1/2 tsp | |
| 1/2 tsp each | Salt and Pepper to season the flour | |
| Oil for Deep frying | As needed |
For Creamy Salted Egg Sauce:
| Vegetable Oil | 2 Tbsp | |
| Butter | 2 Tbsp | |
| Garlic, finely minced | 3 Tbsp | |
| Fresh Curry leaves(or more) | Handful | |
| Small red chillies(chilli padi), sliced | 3 | |
| Milk | 1/2 -1 cup |
Method:
For the Batter Fried Chicken:
- Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Add salt(1/2tsp), pepper (1/2tsp) and one fresh egg.
- Mix this well and set aside.
- In another bowl combine tapioca flour(1/2cup), sweet potato flour(1/3cup) along with salt(1/2tsp), pepper (1/2tsp), and chilli flakes(1/2tsp) or to taste.
- Combine wellusing a fork or whisk. Add the chicken pieces, a few at a time. Shake off any extra flour. Place the coated pieces over a wire mesh to let the excess flour to drop off. We want a thin but thorough coating.
- Fry in small batches using vegetable oil. Fry till a pale-gold colour is achieved. 1-2 minutes only. Set aside the fried chicken.
For the delicious Salted Egg Yolk Sauce:
- In a wok ( use non-stick if this is your first time making this sauce), heat oil(2Tbsp).
- As the oil heats up, ad the butter(2Tbsp).
- Add the curry leaves, followed by the minced garlic(3Tbsp) and red chillies.
- Sauté lightly till softened and fragrant. Don’t allow to go brown.
- Add the Knorr Salted Egg powder(3Tbsp). Once added, stir very quickly.
- You will notice that it starts to become creamy first and then frothy.
- Add a few drops of the oil from frying the chicken. This helps it get creamier/foamier.
- Add milk(1/2-1 cup). Stir well. Wait till it is foamy again. Add a few drops of oil again if the milk seems too liquidy. this makes it foam up and become creamy.
- Stir vigorously till the sauce is smooth and creamy without allowing it to ‘split’. This would cause the sauce to be oily.
- As soon as the sauce is smooth (don’t wait too long), foamy and thickened, add the batter-fried chicken and toss quickly.
- Toss till the chicken pieces are thoroughly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat.
- This dish is great served over a bed of lettuce as an appetizer or as a side with steamed rice.
