Easy Chilli Chicken

This is an Indo - Chinese recipe that I often make at home. It is my daughter's favourite chicken dish. No frying is required in its preparation. But it is very tasty!

Ingredients:

Chicken -1 kg

Onion -1 large, chopped

Green chillies -5 slit

Ginger - garlic paste -2 tsp

Chilli powder -1 tsp

Turmeric powder -1\4 tsp

Vinegar -3 tsp

Water -1 cup

Salt -to taste

Orange red color -1\8 tsp

Soya sauce -2 tbsp

Sugar -1\2 tsp

Oil -2 tbsp

Coriander leaves -1 tbsp chopped

Method:

Wash and cut the chicken into small pieces. Mix it with turmeric powder, chilli powder, vineger, orange red color and salt. Keep aside for half an hour. Transfer the chicken to a pan, pour 1 cup of water and cook covered till done. Open the lid and evaporate excess water. Heat oil in a non stick pan and add ginger- garlic paste. Fry for a few seconds on low flame. Add onions and green chillies. Fry till the onions turn pink. Add soya sauce and sugar. Stir and add the cooked chicken pieces. Fry for 5 minutes and put off the fire. Garnish with coriander leaves. Goes well with rice, chapathis, pulao, fried rice or noodles.
