Instructions:
In a bowl, mix yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, cornflour (or rice flour), all-purpose flour, and egg (if using). This forms the marinade.

In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil for seasoning. Add chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté until they turn golden brown.
Add curry leaves (if using), red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Add the fried chicken pieces to the seasoning pan and toss them until the chicken is well coated with the spices.
