Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup of cornflour
  • 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup of water (adjust as needed)
  • Oil for deep frying
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or green)
  • 2–3 green chilies, slit
  • 3–4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of tomato ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • Spring onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, red chili powder, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Mix well.
  2. Add the beaten egg to the dry mixture and stir to combine.
  3. Gradually add water, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Adjust the water as needed for the right consistency.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. Let marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully add the marinated chicken pieces in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
  7. Fry for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn occasionally.
  8. Remove the chicken and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  9. In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  10. Add sliced onions and bell peppers; stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  11. Add slit green chilies, minced garlic, and ginger; stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes.
  12. Pour in soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, and vinegar. Stir to combine.
  13. Add sugar and stir until well-coated. Cook for an additional minute.
  14. Add the fried chicken pieces to the pan with the sauce and vegetables. Toss gently to coat.
  15. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on medium heat, allowing flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  16. Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds (if using). Serve hot.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of chili powder and green chilies.
  • For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken instead of deep frying.
