Instructions:

For Marination :

1. Wash and clean the chicken thoroughly.
2. In a bowl, add buttermilk, Ginger-garlic paste, salt and pepper powder. Mix well. 
3. Drop in the chicken pieces and give a gentle mix. 
4. Keep in refrigerator. Let it rest for min 1hr. (I kept it for 5 hrs) 

Preparation for the coating :

1. After 5 hrs, drain off the chicken from the buttermilk. Keep the buttermilk aside. 
2. Seasoned Flour : Mix all the ingredients under seasoned Flour very well. Keep it in a wide plate.
3. For egg coating :
4. Take 2 whole eggs in a bowl. Add 4 tbsp of marinade (buttermilk in which chicken was marinated) 
5. Spread the crushed Cornflakes in a plate. 

Coating and deep frying :

1. Take a chicken piece. Roll it in the seasoned Flour. Tap off the excess.
2. Then dip into the egg mixture. Drip the excess. 
3. Again roll in the flour. Then in the egg. 
4. Then finally roll in the crushed Cornflakes. 
5. Repeat the same process for the remaining pieces. 
6. For deep frying :
7. Heat oil in a kadai. Oil should be ho enough. 
8. Now drop on the coated chicken one by one. (Don't overcrowd the Kadai). Let it cook for a minute on high flame. 
9. Turn to the other side and cook on high flame. 
10. Now, turn to low flame and flip. Cook for 5 minutes. Repeat the same on other side. 
11. Cook until you get beautiful golden crust and the bubbles in the oil gets reduced. 
12. Remove from the oil and drain off excess oil on kitchen tissue. 
13. Serve hot with sauce of your choice. 

Notes:

Make sure Cornflakes is not sweet. Use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin to crush them. Don't put it in the blender While coating, use one hand for dry and one hand for wet coating. If you see the foam while frying, don't panic. It's because of eggs. You can sprinkle some mixture of chaat masala and chilli powder for that chatpata taste.
