Ginger garlic paste-1 spoon
Curd- 2-3 tbl spoon

Powders:
Garam masala powder-2 spoons
Red chilli powder- 1 or 2 spoons
Coriander powder
Turmeric powder-1 spoon

Egg-1(optional)

Salt to taste
Oil - to deep fry

Marination time:3 hours(if you have less time, you can marinate it for short time and add egg to it, so that masala sticks to pieces properly)

Preperation time: 30 min


Method:

1) Clean the chicken and drain the water completely(while cleaning chicken itself i usually add little turmeric to the water, so that it doesnt smell badly)

2) Add all the above mentioned items like garam masala, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, curd,ginger garlic paste,egg, and salt to chicken and marinate it from 30 min to  3 to 4 hours.
(Egg gives thickness and holds the coat around chicken. just make sure that you dont add correct quantity of egg to match your consistency)

3) Adding curd to the chicken will make the kabab soft

4) In a kadai add oil and heat it.

5) once oil starts boiling, add chicken pieces and fry till it becomes golden brown color.
(since we are going to deep fry the chicken pieces here so will need little more oil here. to overcome this and also to  consume less oil here, take a small deep kadai and add little oil and fry oil in it.)

6) Remove it from oil and drain it on a tissue paper.

Serve the hot kabab along with sliced onion, lemon slices.
