I used to think it was an Indian Recipe but now I know it's Chinese(though I am not wholly sure about this). To me it seems more like a fusion between Indian and Chinese cooking.
Here's my version of the awesome recipe.
Hot Chilly Chicken
Ingredients:
350 grams boneless chicken cut into strips
3 teaspoons of Soy sauce
3 teaspoons of vinegar
1 teaspoon of sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
A hand ful of green chillies(seeds removed or else you'll have a fiery hot chicken!) cut in strips
5 flakes of garlic, skinned and cut into slices
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and cut into slices
3 spring onions chopped
Oil for deep frying the chicken cubes
1/2 cup Cornflour
Method:
Marinate the chicken cubes using 1 teaspoon of vinegar, salt and pepper powder. Then make a smooth batter(dipping consistency) with cornflour and water. Heat oil in a deep fry pan. Coat each chicken cube in the cornflour batter and deep fry till golden brown.
After you finish frying all the chicken cubes, heat about 3 tablespoons of oil in a pan and add to it the sliced green chillies,spring onions and slices of ginger and garlic. Stir fry on high flame for two or three minutes and add to it the batter fried chicken strips.
Mix together the soy sauce, remaining vinegar, sugar, a bit of water(a tablespoonful), and half a teaspoon of cornflour and some salt(if needed). Stir well and add to chicken. Mix everything well(taking care not to break the chicken pieces). Turn off the flame and you are ready to serve.
