Ingredients:

1. For the Marinade:

• 1 cup warm milk

• 1 tsp lemon juice (to create a buttermilk effect)

• 1¼ tsp salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp red chili powder

• ½ tsp roasted cumin powder

• 1 tsp garlic paste

• 1 tsp ginger paste

• 1 kg chicken pieces

1. For Steaming:

• Water (enough to fill the steamer without touching the chicken)

1. For the Batter:

• Remaining marinade (from the chicken)

• 1 tsp coriander powder

• ½ tsp garam masala

• 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder

• 1 tsp dried fenugreek leaves

• ¾ tsp additional salt

• ½ cup all-purpose flour

• ¼ cup cornflour

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

• In a large bowl, combine warm milk and lemon juice. The lemon juice will slightly curdle the milk, giving it a buttermilk-like quality.

• Add salt, black pepper, red chili powder, roasted cumin powder, garlic paste, and ginger paste to the milk mixture. Stir well to combine.

• Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade.

• Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

1. Steam the Chicken:

• After marinating, arrange the chicken pieces in a steamer. Steam them for 20 minutes until just cooked through. This step ensures that the chicken is tender and moist.

1. Prepare the Batter:

• In the remaining marinade (if any), add coriander powder, garam masala, Kashmiri red chili powder, dried fenugreek leaves, and additional salt. Mix well.

• Stir in all-purpose flour and cornflour to form a thick batter. Adjust the consistency with a little water or milk if needed.

1. Fry the Chicken:

• Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

• Dip each steamed chicken piece into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated.

• Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil and fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

1. Serve:

• Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels.

• Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce or side dishes.

🌟 Tip: This recipe combines tenderizing and flavor infusion through marination and steaming before frying, making the chicken incredibly juicy inside and perfectly crispy outside. Enjoy this delicious twist on traditional fried chicken with family and friends!
