tips
Don't place the spoon or stir the chicken pieces as you put the chicken or else the marination will all stick to the spoon leaving the chicken plain and it won't be crispy too.
You can also use rice flour instead of cornflour.
Try adding 2-3 crushed garlic cloves  with skin into the hot oil it will give a very nice flavor to your chicken 65.
Don't skip the curry leaves  as the main flavour comes from the fried curry leaves ,add the curry leaves to the chicken while its still frying
