Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs or breasts
• 2 tablespoons Cornflour
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 500 milliliters Oil (for deep frying)
• 1 large Onion (sliced)
• 4 Green chilies (slit)
• 4 Garlic cloves (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Red chili sauce
• 1 tablespoon Green chili sauce
• 1 medium Capsicum (cut into cubes)
• 2 tablespoons Spring onion greens (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon Sugar

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine chicken, cornflour, all-purpose flour, egg, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix well to coat the chicken pieces evenly.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep pan or wok over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden and crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4

In a separate pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 6

Add sliced onions and green chilies. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the onions are slightly softened.

Step 7

Add cubed capsicum and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes. The capsicum should retain some crunch.

Step 8

Reduce the heat and add soy sauce, red chili sauce, green chili sauce, vinegar, and sugar. Mix well to combine.

Step 9

Add the fried chicken pieces to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.

Step 10

Cook for another 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously until the chicken absorbs the flavors and the dish is dry.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and serve hot.
