Cut 2 chicken breasts down the middle into fairly thin strips.

Season chicken strips with salt and black pepper.

In a bowl, beat 2 eggs until smooth.

In another bowl, combine cornstarch, turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder, celery salt, baking soda, and garlic powder.

Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly.

Coat each chicken strip in the seasoned cornstarch mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat about 1 cm of sunflower oil in a pan until hot.

Carefully place the chicken strips into the hot oil, frying 2 at a time.

Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Remove the chicken strips and drain on kitchen towels.
