• Marinate the cut chicken pieces with the above mentioned ingredients. Keep for 30 minutes. Deep fry till golden brown in color and till the chicken is completely cooked. This will take only 10 minutes of deep frying, 5 minutes per side. Do not overcook, or the the chicken will turn hard.
• Heat oil in a saucepan. Sauté the ginger, garlic, green chillies and spring onion whites for 2-3 minutes. It doesn’t have to get browned. Add capsicum and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the soya sauce and green chilli sauce. Mix around for a minute. Pour in the chicken stock and vinegar. Ad a big pinch of sugar. Check for salt and add if needed as the maggi chicken stock and soya sauce will already have salt in it. Let this come to a boil. Add cornflour mix to the gravy, a tsp at a time. Keep on adding till you get the desired consistency and thickness to the sauce. Boil for a minute. Add in the fried chicken and mix. Cover the pan with the lid and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Add 1/2 tsp of pepper powder. Remove from heat and garnish with spring onions greens.
