INDIAN-STYLE CHILE CHICKEN



Indian-Style Chile Chicken image

I recently competed in a Chinese cooking competition that was broadcast internationally live from Times Square in New York City. The sheer ethnic display of this event, the flaming woks, and the gaze of the huge crowd not only inspired me, but drove me to delve further into this compelling cuisine. I and a host of other ''celebrity'' chefs were challenged to make a traditional version of a Chinese staple, Kung Pao Chicken, within a very short time frame-a pressure cooker indeed! As much as I enjoyed the process and ultimately the dish, I craved the addition of a couple of Indian spices. Indo-Chinese is enjoyed by many Indians, and I hope you enjoy one of my favorites in this genre.

INDIAN CHILI CHICKEN

A simple yet delicious Indian chicken dish taught to me by a good friend. Works best if you have a wok. Serve with steamed or sticky rice and your choice of naan. (Start cooking the rice when you start the first step.) You can add an extra presentation flair by slicing the peppers at an angle.

Number Of Ingredients 11

vegetable oil
1 3/4 lbs chicken breast fillets
2 1/2 tablespoons hot chili powder (Laxmi extra hot)
7 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
1/2 cup flour
1 red onion, sliced
6 jalapeno peppers, sliced (or 10 serrano peppers)
3 teaspoons soy sauce
0.5 (5 1/2 ounce) bottle sweet asian chicken chili sauce
2 pinches salt
1 bunch cilantro

Steps:

  • Add vegetable oil to a depth of 1-2 inches in a pot; heat on medium-high heat.
  • Cut chicken breast fillets into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine chicken, chili powder, and five tbsp of ginger-garlic paste in a bowl.
  • Mix well while lightly covering mixture with the 1/2 cup of flour; chicken pieces should be fully covered with flour. Set aside.
  • Add about 1/4 cup of vegetable oil to the wok and heat on medium-high.
  • Add sliced onion, sliced peppers, and two tbsp of ginger-garlic paste to wok; stir occasionally ensuring the vegetables are coated in oil.
  • By now the oil in the pot should be heated (carefully test with a single drop of water). Gently submerge the chicken pieces, covering the bottom of the pot. Once bubbling settles down remove the pieces onto a plate with paper towels. Repeat until all the chicken is cooked. Be sure not to overcook the the chicken. Pat the remaining oil from the chicken with a paper towel.
  • The vegetables in the wok should be softened. Add the chicken, a few shots of soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and salt. Mix well for a minute or two.
  • Serve with rice and naan and top with cilantro. Yumm!
