TANDOORI FRIED CHICKEN

Instead of cooking the chicken in a traditional tandoor oven, we pan-fried ours in a cast-iron skillet. Cool off with a side of cucumber spears and a salad of red onion, mint, and cilantro for a flavorful dinner.

Time P1DT40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Tandoori Marinade for Chicken
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups plus 2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 cup fresh mint leaves
Cucumber spears, for serving

Steps:

  • Make a few slashes in meat side of each thigh. In a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, combine chicken and marinade, turning to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 day and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; season with pepper. In a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 3 cups oil (it should be about 1/2 inch deep) over medium-high until a thermometer registers 350 degrees.
  • Working with 6 pieces at a time, remove chicken from marinade, wiping off excess with a paper towel. Dredge in flour mixture and add to skillet, skin-side down. Partially cover and fry until golden brown and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes a side. (Adjust heat to maintain oil temperature between 330 degrees and 350 degrees; do not let it go over 350 degrees, and return to 350 degrees between batches.) Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate; place in oven to keep warm.
  • Mix together onion and lime juice; let stand 10 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons oil and herbs. Season with salt. Serve chicken, with onion salad and cucumbers.

Provided by HariGhotra

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 chicken thigh fillets, trimmed & chopped into bite size pieces
2 cloves garlic
3cm piece fresh ginger, chopped roughly
2 green chillies, chopped
Juice from ½ lemon
1 tsp salt
2 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin seeds (crushed)
1 tsp red chilli powder
2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves (kasoori methi)
100g gram flour
100g gram flour
Water (if required)
Rapeseed oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Place the garlic, ginger, green chillies, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin seeds, chilli powder, dried fenugreek leaves into a pestle and mortar and blend to a rough paste.
  • Place chicken in a bowl and add the paste, mix to marinade and leave for at least 20 minutes - the longer the better.
  • Heat up the oil in a karahi or wok to a medium heat
  • Into the marinated chicken sprinkle in the freshly chopped coriander and then sieve in the gram flour. Mix together using your hand.
  • Add a small amount of water if required to ensure the chicken is coated in a thick batter.
  • Test your oil is hot enough by dropping in a little batter into the oil. If it browns and rises immediately then it is ready. Very carefully place the pieces of chicken into the oil one at a time and fry until crisp and golden brown.
  • Using a slotted spoon move the pakora around, be careful not to overcrowd the karahi.
  • Once golden brown and crisp remove from the oil and set on some kitchen paper

Tips:

  • To make the perfect Tandoori Murgh Pakora, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • For a more flavorful marinade, use a combination of yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, and a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and red chili powder.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate.
  • Use a light batter made from chickpea flour (besan), rice flour, salt, and baking powder for a crispy coating.
  • Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C) before frying the chicken to ensure an even cook.
  • Fry the chicken in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Drain the fried chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the Tandoori Murgh Pakora hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as mint chutney, tamarind chutney, or raita.
