Recipe:
Ingredients
For the Marinade
750 g chicken drumsticks
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon Malaysian curry powder
1 tablespoon coriander powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
1 1/2 tablespoons plain yogurt

For the Coating
4 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Other Ingredients
Oil (for brushing or spraying the chicken surface)
2 sprigs of curry leaves (optional, for garnish)
Steps

3. Marinate. Rub the marinade thoroughly over the chicken, ensuring it gets into the slits.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Before air frying, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
