Chilly Chicken – Even though many people think it’s an Chinese dish, it’s an Indo-Chinese dish. But still when think of Chinese food, chilly chicken comes into mind first :). Chilly chicken can be made with boneless chicken or with chicken bones.
Chinese sauces like soya sauce, tomato sauce and chilly sauce are added to give the flavouring. Ajinomotto/ MSG can be added to make this more tastier but it’s optional.
Best combination
- Fried rice
- Porotta
- Chappati
