I remember watching Nelson, the inventor of the chicken Manchurian on TV cooking his specialty dish, chilli chicken and I knew it would be a great dish to make for appetizers. It is a very simple and quick dish to make and very hard to go wrong with.

Ingredients

Chicken – 500 grams (cut into small pieces)

Onions – 2 Big ones quatered and separated.(don’t slice or dice it)

Garlic – 8-9 cloves

Green chillis –  3-4

Tomato – Cut into long slices (optional)

Tomato sauce – one tablespoon

Dark soy sauce – two  tablespoon

Oil –  2-3 teaspoons

Marinate for chicken

Salt

Pepper – one teaspoon

Half a lime

Soya sauce – one teaspoon

Method 

1. Marinate the chicken with the ingredients listed for marinate for around 30 minutes.

2. Heat the wok and add oil. When the oil is heated, add the chopped garlic. Once the garlic browns add the chopped green chilli and stir on high heat.

3. Now add two tablespoons of dark soy sauce. Be careful because this will splutter a lot.

4. Once the soy sauce spreads over the pan, add the onions and stir until translucent.

5. Now add the marinated chicken pieces and add salt and stir it continuously.

6. Once the chicken is almost cooked add tomato sauce and in the end add the tomato slices and stir till its cooked

NOTE: This dish can get salty easily with the soy sauce and the tomato ketchup, so go easy on the salt.
