Cuisine: Indian


Ingredients:

For the Chicken Bites:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken:
    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

  2. Make the coating:
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Prepare the wet ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until well combined.

  4. Coat the chicken:
    Dip each chicken cube into the wet mixture (egg and buttermilk), then coat it generously in the dry flour mixture. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.

  5. Heat the oil:
    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, enough to submerge the chicken bites. (About 1-2 inches deep in the pan.)

  6. Fry the chicken:
    Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil—it should sizzle), carefully add the chicken pieces in batches, frying them until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

  7. Drain the chicken:
    Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  8. Prepare the dipping sauce:
    In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

  9. Serve:
    Serve the fried curried chicken bites hot, with the dipping sauce on the side.


Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve with a fresh salad, or enjoy on its own with a side of naan or rice.
  • These bites also make a great snack or appetizer for a party!
