Here's how to make it

1
For the marinade, mix together: 2tl Kashmiri chili powder, 1tl ginger, 1 clove garlic (finely chopped), 0.5tl turmeric, 0.5tl pepper, 0.5tl salt and 1tl lemon juice in a bowl. Add the chicken breast in pieces and stir well through the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour.

2
For the sauce: mix 250ml yogurt, 1tl Kashmiri chili powder, 1 clove of garlic (finely chopped), 0.5tl coriander, 0.5tl krukuma, 0.5tl salt and a small amount of red dye in a bowl and set aside.

3
For the batter: mix 1 egg with 2 tbsp cornmeal, 1 tbsp rice flour and 2 tbsp water in a bowl, and whisk until smooth. Stir the marinated chicken into the batter.

4
Heat the vegetable oil and deep-fry the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown. Drain the chicken on kitchen paper.

5
Discard the frying oil and add 2 tablespoons of new oil to the wok. Add 1tl ginger and 1 clove garlic and fry for about 30 seconds. Add the curry leaves, green chilies (finely chopped or rings) and chicken pieces and fry for about 2 minutes. Then add the yogurt sauce and heat over medium-high heat until the sauce is almost completely absorbed and the chicken pieces are almost dry.

6
Serve the red chicken with cilantro.
