Add the garlic powder, coriander, ginger, cardamom, mahlab, nutmeg, turmeric, salt and pepper, add the chicken, cover the bowl and refrigerate for several hours.
For the flour: In a bowl, place the flour, cornstarch, salt and mix. Take 3 tablespoons from the chicken marinade and add it to the flour, mix to make it crumbly.
In a bowl, place the water, egg, vinegar and nutmeg, whisk with a fork to mix.
Heat the oil in a deep skillet to medium heat.
Take a piece of chicken, place it in the flour and lightly coat it without pressing, just roll it in the flour.
Immediately lift the chicken strip and place it in the egg mixture, wait a few seconds, then quickly remove it and place it back in the flour, toss it in the flour with light pressure to coat it thickly, and you'll notice the flour becomes coarse with many bits.
Immediately place the chicken in the hot oil, wait a few minutes while gently turning it until it becomes golden brown.
