Instructions

  • First we will make a coarse paste of ginger, garlic and green chilles. Take a small mixie jar and add in the ginger, garlic and the green chillies Grind without adding any water to a coarse paste. Use the pulse mode in the mixie and grind several times. The texture should be that of finely grated veggies. Set aside. We will need chicken with bone for making Andhra style chilli chicken recipe. The bone has a lot of flavour and will add lot of flavour to the sauce. To the chicken, add in the turmeric powder, soy sauce, green chilli sauce, vinegar and the salt. The sauces already have salt. So go easy on the salt. Marinate for about thirty minutes. Take a pan and add in the oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the finely chopped onions. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Add in the ground green chilli – garlic – ginger paste. Sauté on a low flame for about 5 minutes. Also, fry on a low flame. Add in the marinated chicken. Add in the whole chillies along with the chicken at this stage. Sauté for a couple of minutes. Add in half a cup of water. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer the gravy for 15 minutes. Add in a little sugar. The sugar nicely balances the hot and sour taste. Make a corn starch slurry by mixing the corn starch and water. Add in the corn starch slurry and let the gravy simmer for two minutes. The gravy will instantly thicken. Take it off from stove and serve.
