Lets see how to make this Chilli Chicken Dry version….

• Chicken need to be cleaned, washed and pat dry before you proceed. (This is very important… if the chicken is dripping wet your dish will be very soggy) It should not be wet…. Ginger garlic needs to be minced finely.
• Mix chicken with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, salt, lemon juice, ajinomotto, food color, minced ginger garlic, green chilli, rice seasoning, maida, baking powder and corn flour.
• Add water slowly until it reaches a sticky consistency.. not too water not too thick.
• Heat oil in a pan  and deep fry the pieces until fully cooked, its boneless so should take less than 3 minutes.
• When done.. place them over a tray.. fry the curry leaves, slit open green chilies, minced ginger garlic in that same oil and mix with the fried chicken. That’s it!
• Serve hot with sliced onion and lemon wedges!

Notes

• Serves 4 to 5
• Ajinomotto and food color is optional.. if you prefer healthy.
