Place chicken in a medium bowl. Add egg, cornstarch, 1/2 of the minced garlic, 1/2 of the minced ginger, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until chicken is completely coated.

2

Heat oil in a deep skillet and fry chicken pieces until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 7 to 10 minutes. Set fried chicken aside.

3

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a second skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook until crackling, about 1 minute. Add remaining garlic, remaining ginger, serrano peppers, cumin, chile powder, black pepper, and salt. Add curry leaves and stir to combine.

4

Add chile-garlic paste, ginger paste, and red food coloring. Stir to create a paste. Add water to thin paste slightly.

5

Add fried chicken to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly. Stir in cilantro.
