Crispy Chicken Chilli!

During the lock down we definitely had a tough time getting over our cravings. Common cravings would be chaats, chinese or any other street food. Today I have an irresistible craving for some Chinese food, specially the starter kind of dish. Indo-Chinese food is a real winner when it comes to starters. This dish is always a hit when served with fried rice or noodles.  

Here goes the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1.5 Tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder
  • Salt
Process:
  • Clean and cut chicken breasts to bite size pieces.
  • Chop 1/2 onion. Fry them till caramelized. Do not brown or over fry them
  • Now in a blender take the caramelized onion and ginger and garlic. Blend it to a smooth paste.

  • In a bowl take soy sauce, red chilli powder, salt and ground paste. Mix it well

  • Marinade the chicken pieces with the mixture, and set aside for an hour.
To Cook Chicken:
  • To get the chicken cooked, after an hour firstly add 1 Tablespoon corn starch and give it a good mix.

  • Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pan and shallow fry chicken in batches.


To Cook the sauce:

 Ingredients:
  • Yellow and Green bell pepper
  • 4-5 Green chillies
  • 1/2 Onion
  • 1.5 Tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon green chilli sauce
  • Corn starch mixture
  • 3/4 cup water
  • Spring onions
Method:
  • Chop 1/2 of green and yellow bell pepper, chop green chillies and onion and set aside

  • In a saucepan add in 1 tablespoon oil, add in the chopped veggies and saute on high heat for 1 minute.
  • Then add in water and the sauces and give a good stir.
  • Now add in the corn starch mixture (1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 3-4 tablespoon water)
  • Once the sauce starts to thicken add the chicken pieces and stir till the chicken is well coated with the sauce.

  • At last garnish with spring onions and serve hot.
