Mix Chicken cubes and rest of the spices mentioned above. Cover and let it marinate for 30 minutes up to 24 hours.
At the end of marination, add chickpea flour, Cornflour and egg. Mix well, so that the chicken is well coated with batter.
Heat enough oil in a deep frying pan.
Once the oil is medium hot, add a few pieces of chicken pieces to the oil without crowding the pan.
Let it cook for about 2 minutes and then flip the chicken and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon, drain excess oil and keep in a plate.
While serving sprinkle more chat masala. Serve with lemon wedges, sliced onion and ketchup.
