• Lime juice: 1 tsp
• Pepper powder : 1 tsp
• Soya Sauce : 1 tsp
• Salt to taste

Method :

This dish has to be made in 3 steps :

Cook the Chicken

• Take enough water in a vessel till it covers the boneless chicken. Add the chopped onions, peppercorns,cloves and salt. Boil it till the chicken is cooked .Then shred the chicken .Keep them ready.

Fry  the Chicken in the batter

• Make the batter with given amounts of Maida, Cornflour, salt, soyasauce, and ginger garlic paste with very less water. This step is important if the batter is too thin then the chicken won’t become crisp. Hence thick batter is very important to make chicken crisp.Drain and keep it on a tissue paper.

Stir Fry Chicken

• In a fry Pan , heat 2 tsp of oil , on a high flame add , finely chopped ginger garlic and chillies and some spring onions. Then add soya sauce, vinegar , sugar and salt and toss in the fried chicken in it. Garnish it with spring onions green and serve hot.
