2. Fill it half with oil and start heating it. (Fill the oil in the frying pan to the level such that the chicken can be fried easily.)
3. Keep the oil medium hot while heating.
4. One by one add the marinated chicken in medium hot oil and don't stir the chicken immediately wait for at least 30-40 seconds. Stir the chicken after the coating sets into the chicken pieces. Stir the chicken at regular time intervals till the chicken turns golden brown.
Follow the same steps to fry all the chicken pieces.
Our fried chicken is ready.

Let's move to our next and final process.

2. Take 4-5 Tbsp oil in the pan.

7. Cook them for 2 minutes in high flame.
8. Add the sauce made earlier after stirring it well and wait for the sauce to boil.
9. Now add 1 Tsp salt, 3/4 Tsp black pepper, and 1 Tsp sugar to balance the taste. Stir it well and cook for 1-2 minutes till the gravy starts boiling.
