- In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, garlic paste, ginger paste, chopped coriander leaves, mint leaves, and salt.
- Add water gradually to form a thick batter that coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the chicken pieces to the batter and mix well to coat each piece evenly.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
