Chilli Chicken Recipe is one of the famous fast food recipes which come into the category of Indo-Chinese dishes. Learn how to make chilli chicken recipes in restaurant style with step by step image instructions along with tips and a video.
According to the changing culture in India, whenever there is a weekend people like to have Spicy Chilli Chicken as a breakthrough from their work pressure. Also when you have with vegetable fried rice or noodles, it becomes the best combination.
Usually, this recipe has a bit spicy with mild sweetness because of onions and tomato sauce. Most of the time we find this recipe dry or juicy so people like to have it as a starter or munching snack along with beverages.
Looking at its dark colour in restaurants we might get to the conclusion that this is a spicy recipe but the fact is that they add food colours. We tried to give natural colour by adding Kashmiri red colour and a bit of tomato sauce. If you want to reduce the brownish colour then lower the soya sauce.
Have you tried eating on the streets, you might have observed that few people stuff chilli chicken recipes inside chapati and roll. Of course, they put egg omelette mixture over chapati and fry them with butter or ghee to enhance flavour.
Tips to make a perfect chilly chicken recipe:
- Use boneless chicken with cube shape cutting to get a nice texture.
- To get a soft and juicy texture we must marinate chicken for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Adding cornflour liquid gives us a juicy texture but adding more cornflour will give a sticky texture so be careful adding cornflour juice.
- Adding sesame seeds will give a nutty texture, so we can add them or just skip this ingredient.
- Garnishing with spring onions will not only give good look but give a nice flavour.
