Step-by-step procedure

For the chicken marination and deep frying

• Firstly, in a mixing bowl, add boneless chicken pieces.

• Add salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, and garam masala powder.

• Into it add one egg.

• Add all-purpose flour/maida, and add corn flour into it.

• Mix up all the ingredients and rest the marinade in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.

• Heat oil in a wok for deep frying.

• Add the chicken pieces and deep fry them on all sides until they turn golden brown for 10-15 minutes on medium flame.

• Take the chicken pieces out and transfer the pieces into a bowl and set aside.
• Prepare the gravy as shown below.

For the chicken gravy:

• Take a wok, into it, add oil, heat it, and add crushed ginger garlic.

• Add slit green chilies plus fresh curry leaves and saute.

• Add beaten yogurt to it. If yogurt is tangy, add less yogurt and buttermilk, too, which can be a substitute for yogurt.

Difference between chicken 65 and chilli chicken

Chicken 65 here in my recipe does not use any sauce, such as soy sauce or chili sauce.

Stir-frying the deep-fried chicken in curry leaves tempering makes it a wonderful snack.

I am using yogurt in the recipe, but buttermilk is a good option for enhancing it.

On the other hand, chili chicken uses various sauces such as soy sauce, chilli sauce, cubes of capsicum, and diced onion to give a Chinese effect to the whole dish.

The deep-fried chicken should stir-fry well with veggies and sauces and is slightly different from the recipe shared here.

It is one of the most sought-after dishes in India these days.
