Add cornstarch and rice flour to the marinated chicken; mix until evenly coated.

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

Fry marinated chicken pieces in batches until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

Remove fried chicken and drain on paper towels.

In a separate pan, heat a little oil and add curry leaves and sliced green chilies; sauté until fragrant.

Add the fried chicken to the pan; toss to coat with the spices.

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
