Ingredients

To tenderize the chicken:

Thick curd - 1 cup

Water - ¼th cup

Salt - 1 tsp

For the chicken nuggets:

Chicken breast - 250 g

Plain flour - ½ cup

Pepper powder -1/2 tsp

Garam masala -1/2 tsp

Ginger & garlic paste - ½ tsp

Egg - 1

Bread crumbs - ¾th g

Salt to taste

How to Prepare

1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

2. Prepare the tenderizer solution by mixing the thick curd, water and salt.

3. Later, remove the chicken pieces and drain them completely. Add half of the salt, pepper powder and garam masala into the chicken pieces and mix it thoroughly. This step is done to ensure that the chicken is tender and does not become stringy when fried.

4. In a bowl, take plain flour. Add the rest of the salt, pepper powder and garam masala and mix well.

5. Take a bowl and add the drained chicken pieces into it. Add the rest of the pepper powder and salt to it. Also, add the garam masala. Mix the content in the bowl thoroughly.

6. Take another bowl. Break the egg into it. Beat the egg well until it's a little frothy.

7. Take a third bowl and add the bread crumbs into it.

8. Take a piece of the chicken breast and roll it well in the flour mixture until it is well covered.

9. Now, dip the chicken pieces in the beaten egg mixture.

10. Place the egg-coated piece in the bread crumbs. Roll well until it is covered completely.

11. Repeat this process until all the chicken pieces are covered in bread crumbs.

12. Rest this for a few minutes. This will ensure that the bread crumbs will stick well to the chicken pieces.

13. Now, take a piece and gently shake it to remove any extra bread crumbs.

14. Slowly drop the chicken piece into a kadhai with medium hot oil. If the oil is too hot, the outside of the nugget will turn brown before the insides get cooked properly.

15. Drop five more pieces into the kadhai and fry until these have turned golden brown.

16. Remove the chicken nuggets on a kitchen paper.

17. Repeat the process until all the chicken nuggets are made.

18. Serve hot along with the other Iftar dishes.
