Marinate chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt for at least 1 hour.

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Coat marinated chicken pieces with a mixture of rice flour and all-purpose flour.

Carefully add coated chicken pieces to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Garnish with fresh coriander, sliced green chilies, and thinly sliced onion before serving.
