Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the chicken with yogurt, tikka masala, pepper, salt, red chili powder, cumin seeds, ginger garlic paste, and red chili sauce. Mix everything well so the chicken is nicely coated.

Step 2

In another bowl, stir together the cornflour and water until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 3

Dip each potato slice into the cornflour batter, making sure it’s fully coated.

Step 4

Place a piece of the marinated chicken in the center of each coated potato slice. Use a toothpick to skewer through both the potato and chicken to hold them together, creating little “butterflies.”

Step 5

Heat some oil in a pan over low heat. Carefully fry the butterfly bites until they turn golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Once they’re done, drain any excess oil and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
