Hubby and I love Chinese - let me correct, Indianised Chinese cuisine and visit our favourite restaurant Bamboo Chinese whenever we want to dig into some hot and spicy food. It was a rather dull and gloomy day and what was better to brighten our day than some hot and spicy chilli chicken! It was my first try at this, and it turned out to be really simple!

Hi
The chilly chicken looks really yummy.I would like to try this. But the amounts of some ingredients r not clear(egg white, courflour....). Could u specify it for beginners like me.
Hi Maya! You'll need white part of one egg. Cornflour should be sufficient to coat the chicken. Hope that helps :)Do try it and let me know.
jyo, made this chili chicken yesterday and we loved it. sprinkling the cornflour was agreat idea as it prevented the chicken from getting clumpy. thanks!!!
