I LOVE Chilli Chicken. I usually just follow my mom's recipe, which I have made my own over the years. I was about to make it for a potluck, when I scrolled through my YouTube feed and noticed that my friends Insiya & Saptarshi from Bong Eats published a Kolkata style Chilli Chicken. As I'm a BIG fan of trying new things, I decided to give their recipe a test drive.

Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!

Marinade
2 tbsps each Ginger & Garlic + pinch salt crushed
Egg white of one egg

1 tsp of Corn starch

Breading
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup Corn starch
1/2 tsp Baking powder
Pinch of Salt

Sauce
2 tbsps dark Soya sauce
2 tbsps light Soya sauce
2 tbsps Chinese cooking wine
I need to add 2 tbsps vinegar and I prefer to use the homemade vinegar I always have in my fridge - this is just green chillies soaked in vinegar
Add 3 tbsps Ketchup
Add 2 tbsps chilli sauce
1/2 cup Chicken stock
1 tsp fresh pepper
And a pinch of Aji na Moto or MSG

2 cups red Onion quartered and seperated
1 cup green Pepper cut in squares
2 tbps each minced Ginger & Garlic

Prepare the marinade and marinate the Chicken in half
Mix the flours, baking powder and salt together and add the other half of the marinade to make a damp and crumbly breading
Prepare the sauce and the other ingredients
Heat oil in a wok and add the onions and peppers
Add the sugar to help caramelize the onion
