- Season the chicken, including the dry masala, such as coriander powder, black pepper powder, red chilli, turmeric, cumin seed powder, and garam masala.
- Next, add salt to your desired taste.
- Lastly, add lemon juice.
- Mix everything thoroughly to ensure that the masala is evenly spread across all chicken pieces.
- Next, grab the skewer sticks and thread 3-4 pieces of chicken onto each one.
- Follow these steps to marinate all of the chicken pieces.
- After preparing all the chicken pieces, kindly place them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes for marination.
- Once 30 minutes have passed, it's time to prepare for frying.
- Get a flat container to hold the sticks and crack four eggs.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly for one minute using a whisk or a fork.
- To enhance the flavour of the eggs, it is recommended to sprinkle some salt and black pepper powder into the mixture.
- Mix it thoroughly.
- To deep fry the sticks, heat oil in a kadhai and use a large enough kadhai to accommodate them.
- To coat the sticks, dip them thoroughly in the egg mixture.
- After coating the food thoroughly in the egg mixture, place it into the oil while maintaining a medium flame.
- Kindly repeat the process for the remaining pieces/sticks and place them in the oil.
- To cook the food properly, ensure to fry one side for a minimum of 1-2 minutes before flipping it over to the other.
- Remember to flip the item over and fry it on both sides to ensure even cooking. To thoroughly cook, maintain a low flame and let it simmer.
- To achieve a perfect texture, fry the sticks until they are crispy on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. This process usually takes around 5-6 minutes per stick.
