  • Heat a saucepan one-third full of oil until it reaches frying temperature.
  • Whisk self-raising flour, egg yolk, oregano, cayenne pepper, and sparkling water together to create a batter.
  • Dredge chicken strips in seasoned plain flour, then dip them into the prepared batter.
  • Fry the battered chicken in batches for four minutes until golden, then drain on kitchen towels.
  • Season the fried chicken lightly with salt.
  • Spoon the curry onto a plate and top with the crispy chicken strips.
