Notes

  • Usually everybody uses food color for bright red color but I dont prefer it. You can use kashmiri chilli powder or paprika for vibrant color.
  • Don’t over fry the chicken this makes it very hard.
  • Marinating the chicken for 2 hours or overnight makes the chicken more juicer and tasty.
  • Be careful while adding corn flour .Lumps will formed if added on high flame, so always add the mixture at low flame and keep on stirring.
  • You can add also chilli sauce if you want more spice.
