Steps

1 Done	Prepare the Marinade In a large bowl, combine ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, cornflour, rice flour, yogurt, lemon juice, and salt. Add the chicken pieces to this marinade and mix well. Ensure each piece is coated. Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
2 Done	Heat the Oil In a deep frying pan or a skillet, heat 1 cup of oil over medium heat until hot (around 350°F/175°C).
3 Done	Fry the Chicken Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the marinated chicken pieces into the oil, one batch at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry until the chicken is golden brown and crispy (about 7-8 minutes).
4 Done	Garnish with Aromatics While the chicken is frying, heat a bit of oil in a separate pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp of mustard seeds and curry leaves to this oil. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.
5 Done	Combine & Serve Once the chicken is fried, remove it from the oil and drain on paper towels. Toss the crispy fried chicken with the fried onions and curry leaves mixture.
6 Done	Garnish With a wedge of lemon if you prefer added tang. Enjoy this restaurant-style Chicken 65 at home! 😊
