My sons are rigid, during dinner times. All they crave for is chicken that too in its Chinese avatar. As a cook I detest cooking the same chilly or garlic or lemon chicken. I need variety, to cut the monotony of a recipe, a twist has to be given. So a crunch and some spiciness with the smooth ending, at the end of your palate, describes this dish !!
Ingredients
Boneless chicken - 250gms
Diced onions - 2
Grated garlic - 1 tsp
Chopped green chillies - 2tsp
Whole cashews - 1/2 cup
Light soya sauce - 2tsp
Sugar - 1tsp
Flour -2 tbsp
A medley of capsicums diced -1/2 cup
Pineapples chopped -1/2 cup
Refined oil - 4tbsp
Salt to taste
Procedure
Cut the chicken into small pieces. Pat them dry with a towel. Add some salt and dust them in the flour.
Heat a deep pan. Add oil and heat it up.
Fry the cashews lightly and keep aside.
Fry the chicken in batches and keep aside.
In the residual oil, add garlic and chillies. Saute for a minute and add onions. Fry till the onions are half done.
Add the fried chicken pieces and in high heat mix them all.
Add the soya sauce, fried cashews, capsicum and the pineapple.
Add sugar, salt and toss well. Soya sauce has salt so check with the seasoning. As a glaze appears on the dish, put your gas off.
Immediately serve on a bed of rice or with home made chapattis.
It's delicious when hot.
Sparkle in their eyes....pays it off !!
