Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the besan, rice flour, salt, turmeric, chilli powder and garam masala. Taste and add more salt if needed.
2. Add the ginger garlic paste, onion, curry leaves and green chilies.
3. Cut the chicken into strips or cubes about 1 by ¾ inch, add them to the bowl with the egg white, and mix.
4. Add water only as needed to make a thick, stiff mixture that is not loose like batter.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan on medium flame. Test by dropping in a little dough: it should sizzle and rise slowly without browning. Keep the flame at medium.
6. Slide the chicken pieces into the oil one at a time, without crowding the pan.
7. Leave undisturbed for 2 minutes, then stir and fry until golden and crisp.
8. Drain on a steel colander or cooling rack. Fry the rest in batches; refry for extra crispness if you like.
9. Serve hot as an appetizer with green chutney or masala tea.
10. Air fryer option: preheat the air fryer to 180°C (360°F) for 10 minutes. Grease the basket well and place the chicken pieces spaced apart. Air fry for 5 to 6 minutes, turn, and cook another 5 to 6 minutes.
