Spicy Chicken

This is a recipe given to me by Afreen, a very close friend of mine. She once invited us over to her place for lunch and all of us were literally licking our fingers!! She's such a fab cook and has got this gift from her mom who according to me cooks the most tasty dishes! Her khatti dal with fried chicken that we would have during our college days still lingers in my mind.. Though I've cooked this a number of times it still doesn't taste as good as hers!

Ingredients:

For the marination:

1/2kg boneless chicken
1 egg white
Ginger garlic paste
3tbsp Chilli garlic sauce
2tbsp soy sauce
2tbsp worcestershire sauce
2tbsp red Chilli sauce
1tbsp cornflour
Pinch of red colour
2tsp cumin powder
Red Chilli powder
Salt to taste

2tbsp oil

Cooking Process:

1: Deep fry the marinated chicken in small batches and keep aside.

2: In a deep frying pan add all the sauces and fry for about 3-4 minutes.
