How to Prepare

1. Cut the chicken fillets into strips that are 2 to 3 inches long.

2. Take a large bowl and fill it with buttermilk. Add 2 teaspoons of salt.

3. To the buttermilk, add the chicken strips and let it soak for 20 minutes. To make the dish healthier, you may bake or grill the chicken strips instead of frying them. If you're doing so, you will need to let the chicken soak for at least 2 to 3 hours.

4. Now, drain the buttermilk completely and remove the chicken strips onto a different bowl.

5. Add red chilli powder, corn flour, turmeric powder and the ginger and garlic paste. Mix well and rest it for about 10 minutes.

6. Take a deep kadhai and add oil into it. When hot, add the chicken pieces into it and fry it on a medium flame. If the oil gets too hot, only the outside of the chicken would get cooked, if the oil is not hot enough, the chicken will get soggy. You may also bake or grill the chicken at this point.

7. Remove the chicken pieces on a kitchen tissue, until it is lightly golden in colour.

8. Take a frying pan and add a tablespoon of oil into it. When warm, add the garlic and fry it until it turns aromatic.

9. Now, add the green chillies and curry leaves.

10. When fried, add a handful of mint leaves and garam masala powder. Sauté for a couple of seconds.

11. Immediately, add the thick curd. Make sure that the curd is not too sour.

12. Cook the curd on a low flame till it gets thick.

13. At this point, add the soya sauce. And mix well.

14. Now, add the fried chicken and mix well until all the pieces are coated well.

15. Take the pan off the flame. Serve hot.
