While checking around on the Net I found this recipe & had to try it out. It is so good I had to share it with you all. Served with rice it makes a wonderful tasty meal. From 'Awesome Indian Cuisine'

Ingredients:

1 chicken ( about 1 kg) - cut into small pieces - see note

4 tblspn corn flour ( corn starch)

1/4 cup oil

1 large onion - sliced thinly

2 tblspn grated ginger - see note

10 cloves garlic - finely chopped

sauce ingredients. - to be mixed together

2 tsp soya sauce

1/2 cup water

1 tblspn vinegar

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp corn flour (corn starch)

note

i happened to have a bag of chicken thighs in the freezer, so wanted to use what i had on hand. i cut most of the meat from the thighs, leaving some on the bone & cut the meat into chunks. i used the meaty bones in the recipe also. i used enough to make the 1 kg.

i did not have fresh ginger on hand so i used 1 tsp ginger paste instead & mixed it into the sauce ingredients.

i had found a jar of the ginger paste in the ethnic section at super store previously. i find it very handy. for me the 1 tsp was more than enough for the ginger flavor.

Directions:

1. Wash the chicken pieces & pat dry.
2. Put the corn starch into a plastic bag & add the chicken.
3. Shake well to coat. Set aside
4. Heat oil in a wok.
5. Shake off any excess corn starch & add chicken to oil, first over medium high heat & then lower heat to medium.
6. Fry til golden & cooked through, cooking in 2 batches if needed
7. Drain well & set aside.
8. Spoon off 1/2 of the oil & add the onion, garlic & ginger to the remaining oil.
9. Stir fry until the onion is transparent
10. Add the chicken & toss in the onion mixture & then add the sauce ingredients.
11. Stir fry until the sauce has thickened
12. Transfer to a serving platter & garnish with spring onions.
13. ENJOY
