Method:
Cut the chicken breasts into long strips, make sure that you cut the chicken against the grains, then transfer the chicken strips into a bowl & add salt, kashmiri red chilli powder, lemon juice & ginger garlic paste, mix well & set it aside to marinate until you make the second marinade.
Add the mustard oil & kashmiri red chilli powder into a bowl, whisk it well then add coriander powder with all the remaining powdered spices, ginger garlic paste & curd, mix it well using a whisk so that no lumps remain.
Further add the chicken strips & coat it well with the second marinade, you can smoke the chicken using a piece of live charcoal & ghee, cover & let it smoke for 3-4 minutes, this step is optional.
To crumb the chicken, add the refined flour into a large bowl & season it with salt, & along with that you will require a large bowl filled with chilled water.
Add a couple of marinated chicken strips into the flour & coat them well by tossing them around in the flour gently.
Then shake off the excess flour off of them & place them in a sieve, dip the chicken in chilled water for 5-10 seconds, then lift the sieve up & let all the excess water drip off, add the chicken strips back into the flour & coat them again by mixing & tossing them in the flour gently, this will help you get those perfect & crispy crevices.
Coat all the chicken strips similarly then fry them in moderately hot oil (170 C) over medium high flame until golden brown & crisp.
Once fried transfer them into a sieve so that all the excess oil drips off.
Your super crispy tandoori chicken strips are ready.
