Critical Success Points
- • Blending the aromatics into a smooth paste
- • Marinating the chicken for at least 2 hours
- • Maintaining oil temperature around 350°F (medium heat)
- • Not moving the chicken during the first minute of frying to form a crust
- • Carefully adding water‑loosened paste to hot oil for crispy beads
Safety Warnings
- • Hot oil can cause severe burns – use long tongs and keep a lid nearby.
- • Adding water to hot oil creates steam bursts; add slowly and stand back.
- • Wear gloves when handling turmeric to avoid staining skin.
