Critical Success Points

  • Toasting and grinding whole spices to release aroma.
  • Maintaining oil temperature at 160 °C for the first fry and 180 °C for crisping.
  • Marinating the chicken long enough for flavor penetration.
  • Frying in small batches to avoid temperature drop.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns; keep children away.
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overheating oil beyond its smoke point.
  • Curry leaves can splatter when added to hot oil; add slowly.
