Instructions

Pat the 180 g of boneless chicken thigh dry and cut it into even 3 cm pieces so they fry at the same rate. Put them in a bowl with 2 tbsp of thick yoghurt, 2 tsp of ginger-garlic paste, 1.5 tsp of Kashmiri chilli powder, 0.25 tsp of turmeric, 0.25 tsp of garam masala, 0.25 tsp of black pepper, 1 tsp of lemon juice and 0.5 tsp of salt.
Rub the marinade well into the meat with your fingers, cover, and leave at room temperature for 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge, brought back to room temperature before frying). The yoghurt should cling to the pieces as a thick red coat.
Just before frying, sprinkle over 2 tbsp of cornflour and 1 tbsp of rice flour and mix again. The coating should be a heavy paste that sticks; if it looks dry, add a teaspoon of water, and if it slides off, another pinch of cornflour.
