Make the Ginger-Garlic-Green Chilli Paste: In a mixer jar, combine the ginger, garlic, and green chillies with about 2 tablespoons of water, and grind until you achieve a smooth paste.
-
Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the besan, rice flour, and maida. Add the Kashmiri red chilli powder, salt to taste, sambar powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and the ginger-garlic-green chilli paste. Gradually add water until you achieve a thick, coating consistency.
-
Fry the Kebabs: Heat sunflower oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium-low. Dip the boneless chicken chunks into the batter, ensuring they are well coated, then gently lower them into the hot oil. Fry until the Chicken Sholay Kebabs turn crisp and deep brown.
-
Drain Excess Oil: Once fried, drain the Chicken Sholay Kebabs on absorbent paper to soak up excess oil.
-
Crisp the Curry Leaves: In the same hot oil, fry the curry leaves until they become crispy, then drain them on absorbent paper.
-
Serve: Top the Chicken Sholay Kebabs with the crispy fried curry leaves and serve hot. They make an excellent appetizer or a delightful addition to a meal, pairing perfectly with steamed rice and Chettinad-style Poondu Rasam for a memorable Sunday lunch.
Enjoy this ultimate South Indian delight that is sure to impress your guests and family alike!
