Chicken Manchurian

When the craving hits for any kind of Manchurian there is no procrastinating. So I immediately went and gathered my ingredients and set my wok on the stove top.

 

Ingredients

Dry Mix for the chicken
Chicken cut into 1" length thin strips – about 2 cups
Corn Starch – 2 tablespoons
All purpose flour – 2 tablespoons
Pepper powder
Salt to taste
Oil to sauté

Veggies
Green bell peppers– cut into small cubes
1 medium onion – cut into small cubes
spring onions – cut into 1" length pieces
2 garlic pods chopped
1" pieces of ginger chopped
2 serrano peppers finely chopped
Oil to sauté

For Sauce
Dark soy sauce – 2 tablespoon
Green Chile sauce – 2 tablespoon ( your favorite brand)
Tomato ketchup – 2 tablespoon
Corn Starch – 1 tablespoon
Red pepper flakes – 1 teaspoon
Water – about 4-5 tablespoon

Method
Mix all the dry mix for the chicken together and coat the chicken well with the mix. Heat some oil in a wok and shallow fry the chicken in batches until cooked to golden brown. Set the chicken aside. Add about a tablespoon of oil to the same wok and add chopped chilies, garlic, ginger and onion and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the chopped bell peppers and sauté for another 2 minutes. In the meantime, mix all the ingredients for the sauce together and pour it over veggies and mix well. Let it cook for few minutes until the sauce thickens. Now mix in the chicken with the veggie and sauce mix to coat well. Turn off the heat and let it cook in the heat for few minutes.
