Start by taking 1 kg of chicken cut into larger pieces, including drumsticks with cuts made in them.

Marinate the chicken with ginger-garlic paste, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon Kashmiri red chili, 1 tablespoon crushed red chili, 1 tablespoon cumin powder, 1 tablespoon coriander powder, and 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice.

Mix all the ingredients well and let the chicken rest for 2.5 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate.

After resting, add 4 tablespoons of besan and 2 tablespoons of rice flour to the marinated chicken for coating.

Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated; if the chicken feels dry, add 2-3 tablespoons of water.

Transfer the chicken pieces to a plate for even sesame seed coating.

Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over the chicken pieces.

Heat oil or ghee in a deep skillet on medium to high flame until hot.

Once hot, lower the flame to medium-low and add the chicken pieces one by one, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Cook the chicken for 15-17 minutes, turning occasionally for even cooking.

After cooking, remove the chicken from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve the fried chicken with lemon slices and garnish with chopped coriander.
