Chilli Chicken Manjoorian

This recipe needs no introduction. This is a very famous dish and a very tasty one too. This is one of the easiest chicken dish that you can prepare at home. The only time consuming activity is to peel the garlic. Now-a-days we get to buy peeled garlic in super markets. You could use them if you like to make things easier.

It is better to prepare this dish at home because the chicken manjoorian that we get in hotels, have food color added to them to make them very reddish and colorful. As we eat this we can notice that our hands get a red stain. These food colors are not good for the health.

Below you see a picture of the preparation that I have made. In it I have used green chilli sauce. That is why it looks colorless. If you prefer it to be a little colorful you could use red chilli sauce as well.
