Chilli Chicken with Gravy

4:44 PM

With nothing much to share today, starting my post with this lovely collage of nature, some clicked by me and some by Amaan in our apartment.....

My little champ was excited that he praised and described each and every plant one by one. As I was clicking he demanded that he too will capture some shots. He was so engrossed in this that he didn't play that particular day and it was time to get back home.....

Chilli Chicken with Gravy

Ingredients:
For marination
Chicken breast - 1/2 kg, boneless, cut into cubes
Corn flour - 2 tbsp
Soy sauce - 1 tsp
Black pepper powder -  1/4 tsp
Egg - 1 egg, beaten
Salt - 1/2 tsp

For Gravy
Garlic - 1 tbsp, finely chopped
Ginger - 1/2 inch, julienned
Green chilli - 1-2, chopped
Capsicum - 1, small, chopped into chunks
Onion - 1 medium, chopped into chunks
Soy sauce - 1-2 tbsp
Black pepper powder - 1/4 tsp
Tomato Ketchup - 1 tbsp
Vinegar - 1 tsp
Corn flour - 1-2 tbsp, mixed with a little water
Salt - to taste
Oil - as required

Method:
Marinate the chicken pieces in the ingredients for marination and refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes

In a kadhai, heat oil and deep fry the marinated chicken pieces till golden brown in colour

In a non stick pan, heat oil and add the garlic. Saute for few seconds

Add ginger and green chillis and saute for a minute

Add onions and capsicum and saute again for few more minutes

Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, salt and black pepper powder

Add 1 1/2 cups of water and let it come to a boil

Lower the flame and add the cornflour mixed with water and keep stirring so that no lumps are formed

Add the fried chicken and mix well

Cover with a lid and simmer for 5-6 minutes

Garnish with spring onions and serve

Notes:
It has to made and served immediately
If the gravy becomes too thick, just add more water
If you require more gravy, you may add more water, but then increase the quantity of corn flour to that thickness of the gravy is maintained
I didn't had spring onions so my dish was not garnished
