Here's how to make it

1
For the marinade, mix 2 tsp Kashmiri chili powder, 1 tsp ginger, 1 clove garlic (minced), 0.5 tsp turmeric, 0.5 tsp pepper, 0.5 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a bowl. Add the chicken breast pieces and stir well to coat them in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.

2
For the sauce, mix 250ml yogurt, 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder, 1 clove garlic (finely chopped), 0.5 tsp coriander, 0.5 tsp turmeric, 0.5 tsp salt, and a tiny bit of red food coloring in a bowl, then set it aside.

3
For the batter, mix 1 egg with 2 tbsp cornflour, 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 heat until it's golden brown. Let the chicken drain on paper towels.

5
Discard the frying oil and add 2 tablespoons of fresh oil to the wok. Add 1 tsp ginger and 1 clove garlic, then sauté for about 30 seconds. Next, add the curry leaves, green peppers (finely chopped or in rings), and chicken pieces, and cook for about 2 minutes. Then, add the yogurt sauce and heat everything over medium-high heat until the sauce is almost completely absorbed and the chicken pieces are nearly dry.

6
Serve the red chicken with coriander.
