Servings: 7 people

Inspired by my friend, Rahat Khan.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs. of boneless chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces

Marinating Boneless Chicken Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce 
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black paper
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground garlic

Other ingredients for cooking:

• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch clove powder
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 7 random size tomatoes peeled and cut into small pieces
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground garlic
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground ginger
• 4 random capsicum (peppers)
• 3 medium sized onions
• 2 cups of water with 2 teaspoon of cornstarch

Directions:

Marinate chicken the chicken with the marinating ingredients, for up to two hours.

Take 4 random size capsicum (orange, red, and yellow) and 3 medium size onions, and cut them into bite size pieces.

Beat one egg and pour onto the marinated chicken. Mix with a spoon so all the pieces are coated with egg. Then put 1/2 cup of all purpose flour on the chicken and mix so all the chicken pieces are covered with flour. Then heat up 2 cups of oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat. Fry all the pieces of coated chicken (can cook up to 20 pieces in the frying pan at a time).

Each batch will cook in 3 to 4 minutes. Flip each piece after a minute. Once they are done, place on plate.

Take one deep pot, add one tablespoon sesame oil, garlic and 3 tablespoons oil from the frying pan from earlier, and cook on medium heat.

After a minute, add all the spices and stir.

Then add the capsicums, and stir

After 3 minutes, add tomatoes and ginger, and stir.

It will take about 6 minutes for the tomatoes to disappear, if you are using crushed tomatoes then 3 minutes for this process.

Add fried chicken and stir 2 to 3 times.

Take 2 cups of water and mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Pour this water into the pot and cook for 5 to 6 minutes.












Then take out your delicious chili chicken in a serving dish, garnish with green onions. Serve with vegetable rice or just plain boiled rice.
