Indo chinese has become a favorite cuisine for many Indians and they regularly visit restaurants to enjoy this cuisine and nothing can be better than making the same dishes at home and having them.
It is totally a different recipe where we make use of different sauces and we do not use any common basic indian ingredients other than dry spices.
Its made usually across indian streets but we all love to try the indo chinese cusines at home and I thought of sharing them at my blog bringing to my blog readers the best of restaurant versions…
I have already shared some of the indo chinese varities like egg fried rice, chicken fried rice, chicken 65 and now bringing to you the mostly ordered dish which is chilli chicken.
Chilli chicken is made by deep frying chicken and then sauteing in some different spices and sauces. Here I have made use of soya sauce, red chilli sauce which gives a very delicious flavor to the chicken.
Into the chilli chicken we also add green chillies, onion and capsicum cubes which completely lift the flavors of the chicken.
It has a texture of dry chilli chicken which I have showed in the video however, if we want to make gravy kind of chilli chicken, follow the same procedure but increase the quantity of corn starch, soya sauce and add some more water which gives a little gravy to the chilli chicken.
This dry chilli chicken tastes best eating with a roomali roti or any roti recipe or we can have it plain.
Below are the recipe details on how to make chilli chicken dry recipe with detailed steps and video procedure.
