Preparation

  1. At first, for the chili sauce, put the oil in a pan and add the green chillies, half of one green pepper, onion, ginger, and cumin and pan-fry. After the pepper has softened and cooked a little, add the tamarind pulp and mix. Add the sugar and salt simultaneously and let simmer for about five minutes.
  2. After the mixture has simmered, add vinegar and blend.
  3. Then, add the egg, salt, garlic, pepper and cornflour and mix well.
  4. Take the mix and put in a hot pan, without any oil. The egg will start thickening up.
  5. In another pan, take some oil and add the chillies, coriander roots, lemongrass, onion, garlic and saute.
  6. Add the chicken cubes and lightly stir. Then, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, green chilli sauce, stock cube and the mushroom.
  7. Let simmer for about 10 minutes. Then add vinegar.
  8. Garnish with lemon and serve alongside rice, naan, or roti.
  9. Enjoy!
