GINGER CHICKEN GRAVY
Hi foodies.Welcome AYESHA'S KITCHEN. A nice strong flavored Ginger chicken is a must try recipe as always. This is yet another quick and delicious recipe that calls for simple ingredients. Most of the Chinese dish starts with a common process, that is marinating ( chicken) and deep frying. But here is a twist, that i just cooked the marinated chicken until half done without adding water and then added the onion, tomato, oil, cooked ginger juice along with the sauces without even sauteing. Really it is a must try recipe with very less oil and tastes the best ever. Here is the recipe which i inspired from a cooking channel. Do try and drop your feedback.
