Ingredients:

For the Chicken Bites:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
• Vegetable oil, for frying

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken:
   Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes and set aside.

2. Make the coating:
   In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

3. Prepare the wet ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until well combined.

4. Coat the chicken:
   Dip each chicken cube into the wet mixture (egg and buttermilk), then coat it generously in the dry flour mixture. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated.

5. Heat the oil:
   In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat, enough to submerge the chicken bites. (About 1-2 inches deep in the pan.)

6. Fry the chicken:
   Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil—it should sizzle), carefully add the chicken pieces in batches, frying them until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.

7. Drain the chicken:
   Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

8. Prepare the dipping sauce:
   In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

9. Serve:
   Serve the fried curried chicken bites hot, with the dipping sauce on the side.
