Chilly Chicken
Posted by Annita on June 6, 2007
Finally i’m back with my next post,sorry for this long uninformed absence,this time the blame is on my in-laws.I got busy with them,taking them around places,eating good food and sharing gossips.Soon i’ll be posting some of the special dishes from my mother-in-law.But for now enjoy this spicy chicken favorite from Sumi’s Kitchen Wonders.Chilly Chicken is the most popular dish in Indo-Chinese cuisine.This is a spicy dish which can be savored as an appetizer,it tastes great with fried rice and noodles as well.This recipe from Sumitha has a very unique taste with the hot Sambal Oelek in it,and i must say this is definitely a keeper.Thank you dear Sumi for this wonderful recipe.
Ingredients:-
Boneless skinless chicken cut into small cubes – 1 lb
Vegetable oil – to shallow fry chicken pieces
To prepare the marinade:
Egg – 1
Cornflour – 2 tsp
Dark Soya Sauce – 1/2 tsp
Red Chilly powder – 1/2 tsp
Salt – to taste
To prepare Chilly Sauce:
Onion diced – 1 big
Green bell pepper diced – 1
Ginger chopped – 1 tbsp
Garlic chopped – 1 tbsp
Green chillies chopped – 3
Sambal Oelek – 1 and 1/2 tbsp
Tomato Ketchup – 1 tbsp
Hot and Sweet Sauce – 1 and 1/2 tbsp
Dark Soya Sauce – 1 tsp
Red Chilly Powder – 1 tsp
Sesame seed oil – 2 tsp
Method:-
Prepare a marinade by mixing the ingredients together.Add the chicken pieces into it and marinate it for an hour,preferably in a refrigerator.Heat vegetable oil in a pan and shallow fry the chicken pieces until they are brown in color.Drain and keep it aside.
Heat 2 tsp sesame seed oil in another pan,add chopped ginger and garlic,fry till they turn brown.Add chopped green chillies,onion and bell pepper,saute until onion turn transparent.Now stir in red chilly powder,sambal oelek,tomato sauce,hot and sweet sauce,soya sauce and salt,mix together.Add fried chicken pieces,mix well and serve hot.
If you like it to be a gravy,add 1 tbsp cornflour mix in 1/2 cup water into the chicken,simmer it for 4-5 mts and serve.

Divya said
Hi Annita,
how are you?
i tried ur chilli chicken and it came out great ( i too couldnt find sambal oelak)
just wanted to ask u something..is the sesame seed oil that u use same as our ‘nallenna’ or is it different?
Its not Nallenna Divya..I use chinese sesame oil..
Nallenna or Gingelly oil is an Indianized version of sesame oil..The pure chinese sesame oil has a different flavour..

Hi,
Do you remember the mutton rolls or ‘Indian hot dogs’ that used to be served at weddings or available at bakeries in India. It was some kind of red color minced mutton filling in a hot dog roll (real tasty stuff, rolled in parchment paper. Would you be able to post a recipe for that? Your site is so cool.Your family is lucky they can sample all this stuff.
Best Wishes,
Mary
