Ingredients

Scale
  • 500 grams boneless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Oil for frying
  • 2–3 dried red chilies, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 2–3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Spring onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, combine diced chicken, cornflour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Add Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the chicken mixture and stir until well combined.
  3. Heat Oil: In a frying pan, heat enough oil over medium heat for deep-frying. You’ll need about an inch of oil in the pan.
  4. Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried chicken and place it on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  6. Prepare Sauce: In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil. Add the dried red chilies, minced ginger, and minced garlic. Sauté until aromatic.
  7. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
  8. Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat and add the soy sauce, red chili sauce, vinegar, and sugar to the pan. Stir until well combined.
  9. Add Chicken: Incorporate the fried chicken into the pan and toss it until well coated with the sauce and vegetables.
  10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with paneer or tofu.
  • Adjust the spice level by modifying the quantity of dried red chilies.
  • Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
