Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Mixture

In a blender, add the roughly chopped onions, green chillies, salt to taste, gram flour, chilli powder, garam masala powder, coriander leaves, ginger-garlic paste, and minced chicken. Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Transfer and Rest

Carefully remove the blade from the blender and transfer the smooth chicken mixture into a bowl. Set the paste aside.

Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai on medium heat, ensuring there is enough oil for deep frying.

Step 5: Drain and Serve

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried popcorn chicken from the oil and drain them on absorbent paper to remove excess oil. Continue this process with the remaining mixture. Serve the Indian popcorn chicken hot with ketchup or chutney.
