This Chilli Chicken is joining the rest. The rest of the Chinese or Indo-Chinese style chicken recipes I have already shared (
Chinese Black Vinegar Chicken). More or less right? Chinese or Indo-Chinese style cooking? How different or what can be different for the ingredients, maybe some changes here and there, otherwise, its soy sauce, garlic, ginger, dried chillies (
Honey Chilli Chicken,
Sesame Chicken,
Sweet Chilli Chicken &
Chinese Herbal Chicken Soup) or those other required or sort of we tend to reach out to ingredients. Other than that? You tell me. Now, lets get going to making this Chilli Chicken. Chicken (
Salted Egg Chicken,
Chicken Kebab,
Chicken Chop,
Baked Cornflakes Chicken) and chillies (
Chilli Lime Fish,
Sichuan Chilli Prawns,
Crispy Chilli Fish &
Chilli Clams) obviously are the main highlight and we are going to use chicken fillet or only the meat or flesh. Plus cashew nuts for crunch and bite, oh, I also decided to add potatoes and like I have already told you earlier, the rest of the Chinese ingredients like ginger, garlic, shallots and soy sauce (
Cashew Masala Chicken,
Curried Roast Chicken,
Chicken Varuval &
Baked Lemon Chicken).

super Awesome click and nice recipe.....I agree that the heat plays a major role for deciding the taste of your food in the wok... :-)
ReplyDeleteVery quick and easy chilli chicken, yes cleaning and washing I hate the most. Most of the dishes make a big mess by splattering around...
ReplyDeleteVery nice click dear...
love that you added cashews for crunch, you need that in this kind of dish, awesome addition of potatoes, I am too fan of potatoes.
ReplyDeleteOh the chicken looks delicious Nava.. :-) We get this here too and I love it.

ReplyDeleteHi Nava, this dish is very delicious and appetizing. Yours look awesome.
ReplyDeleteYa, the restaurant style of stir frying with high heat, we can't practice at home or else we will have a hard time cleaning the mess and oily too. But never mind, we can still enjoy the homemade version, still taste good and healthy.
Have a nice holiday.
this is one of the most mouth-watering posts I have seen.
ReplyDeleteYou've added potatoes, that's new. Looks really good. I enjoy a good stir fry, and you are right on high heat, but as you said a little spit of oil never hurt...

Nice clicks. Chicken and cashew nuts are always a fun combination. The potato addition is different to the mix.

ReplyDeleteLove this dish with cashew nuts whole in the chicken.Don't tell me about clean up after frying phew hate it!!:)
ReplyDeleteThat's a chilli chicken with a twist !! Cashews & potatoes generally do not appear in the version we get over here :) And as u said, cleaning up the mess is a great trouble which makes the attempt questionable !
