Steamed Chilli Chicken.

With more and more calorie conscious people looking for main entree options , steamed food is the order of the day. My steamer is a constant at my side when cooking light dinners. Fish, Chicken, veggies, momos I love the no fuss procedure.Here is a tasty chicken chilli with the least possible oil.You can cook it without oil as well.

500 gms boneless chicken, 1 egg white, 2 tbsp cornflour, 1 tsp each of finely chopped garlic, ginger and crushed dry red chillies. salt to taste. Mix the egg white , salt and cornflour, add boneless chicken cut into bite size pieces. Cover and keep for 30 mins. Steam for 4 mins on max in a microwave
With a fork separate the chicken pieces which would have coagulated into a lump. Heat a tsp of oil, fry the ginger and then the garlic. add red chilli and 1 cup water. Add in salt and the chicken. stir till the water dries up a bit.
Serve with steamed rice, fried rice, noodles, rotis or bread.
