Chilly chicken/ Chinese chicken fry is a
crispy battered chicken stir fried in Chinese sauces and garnished with spring
onions. This is a delicious starter or a perfect accompaniment to Noodles and
fried rice. Green chilies give it a bit of a kick however it would be just as
delicious without the chilies. And now I am going to let my other half (A) take
over.

Today P has been very kind to
give me this opportunity to put this recipe in her blog. Her passion
towards cooking has always inspired me cook and improvise. This recipe
originally comes from my mother and I would like to give her all the credit. I
have tweaked it a bit :).I and P have served this dish as a starter in many
dinner parties and also had it as a main course along with noodles and fried
rice, and every time it has been a hit. Whenever I make this starter P
compliments it with the perfect main course. Do try the recipe and if you think
that a golden tweak can make it even better, do tell us. We would be more than
happy to adapt.
