Directions for Chilli Chicken Recipe

To prepare Chilli Chicken Recipe, wash chicken with water and then with turmeric powder. Drain the water completely from the chicken. Cut them into small pieces.

If you are not using store bought red chili sauce, then soak few Kashmiri red chilies in warm water for about 30 minutes. Grind them into a fine paste and use the paste for marination; If you are using homemade red chili paste, use half a teaspoon less than the chili sauce.

In a small Mixing bowl, add cleaned chicken pieces, 2 teaspoons of red chili sauce, salt, corn flour and egg white. Combine them well such that the chicken pieces are marinated evenly. Set aside for about an hour.

In a separate bowl, add remaining chili sauce, white vinegar, soy sauce and tomato ketchup. Combine them well and set aside for later use.

In a non-stick Tawa, add oil and heat it over medium flame. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces in small batches for about 3 minutes. Ensure they are not over fried so that they become hard. Drain excess oil from chicken by draining them in a paper towel.

In a pan, add 3 tablespoons of oil; once the oil is hot, add ginger garlic paste and onions.

Cook until the onions become translucent and become slightly brown.

Increase the high flame and add capsicums. Fry them in the higher flame so that the vegetables retains its crunchiness.

Now, add green chilies and sauce mixture. Lower the flame.

Add chicken pieces and give them a stir. Add the mentioned amount of water and cook until the water is absorbed. Ensure the chicken is completely cooked.

When it is semi gravy, switch off the flame and garnish with coriander leaves and spring onions.
