Quick Chicken Stir-fry!

From my friend Prabha, of the varied talents :)

Ingredients

200gms boneless chicken cut into thin juliennes or bite sized pieces. They cook fast.

Marinade - garlic (3-4 cloves) crushed, salt to taste, Green chilly (1 -2) crushed, lime juice (half), one egg beaten, 2-3 tsp of cornflour or maida.

Method

Marinate the chicken pieces with all of the above ingredients and ensure it is marinated for at least 30 to 60 mins.

Heat oil in a Wok or Kadai. 2 tbsp
When oil is hot, drop in pieces of the chicken in small batches and quickly toss them in the oil. You will see the chicken turning white and will be done in a matter of 2 mins. Remove them and drain excess oil.

Repeat with the other chicken pieces.

Note: you are not exactly deep frying them just stir frying them in a little bit of more oil :). This will ensure that the chicken is soft in the inside and crisp on the outside.

Variation in the marinade (lemon juice, egg and flour will always remain) - add soya sauce, or Barbeque sauce. or go the indian chicken 65 way add all these masalas (ginger -garlic paste, tandoori chicken masala powder, corriander, cumin, red chilly, and turmeric powder, pepper).

You can just eat it as a snack, as a side dish or wrap it in chappathis with left over vegetables and sliced onions and pudina chutney for yummy home-made katti rolls.
