All-purpose flour - 0.5 cup
 
Egg - 1 large
 
Scallions/Spring onions - 1 bunch chopped
 
Green chillies - 2 slit lengthwise
 
Red Chilli flakes - 1 tbs
 
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tsp
 
Black pepper powder - 0.25 tsp
 
Soy Sauce - 5 tbs

Directions

Cut chicken into small cubes and marinade with Ginger-garlic paste, black pepper powder, salt, soy sauce, red chilli sauce. Combine all-purpose flour and egg, mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a wok and deep fry the batter coated chicken cubes. Drain excess oil on a kitchen towel or absorbent sheet.

Heat 3 tbs oil in a wok. Add green chillies and saute. Next add the chopped scallions and saute until scallions begin to change color, add red chilli flakes. Add 1tbs soy sauce and a little red chilli sauce.

Add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Add the deep fried chicken cubes and continue cooking for another 30 seconds. Adjust salt according to taste.

Mix 1 tsp corn starch/corn flour to a little warm water, mix well so that lumps are not formed and add this mixture to the chicken broth and the gravy begins to thicken. Remove as soon as gravy reaches desired consistency.

Serve Hot with Steamed Rice.

I would suggest to add little rum in the marinade and ajina moto.The small sized chicken if used tastes better.

Hi Snigdha, My mouth is already watering. I'll try this Chilly Chicken with Nans also. I think, being a gravy, it should taste good.

Hi. I am not very sure about how good it wil taste with Naan, but try and let me know. Steamed Rice would be a safe bet though :)
