Dragon Chicken.

Do your kids have the instant favourite dish, which is easy to make and whose origins , if traced will be nothing like what you have in hand. We have Dragon Chicken. Its viscious red looking , but sweet and tangy and not spicy hot at all. The red colour is enough to put off any gourmet, but my kids and their friends have a special place in their heart and stomach for Dragon Chicken. So keeping aside my potato "chip on my shoulder" , i get not so busy getting together their favourite dragon chicken. 
Here we go


250 gms boneless chicken cubes, 1 tsp salt , pepper. 2 tsp cornflour, 1 tsp soy sauce,1/4 tsp tandoori orange or tomato red colour. Marinate for 10 mins.

In a pan heat 1 tsp oil, add 2 kashmiri red chillies / 4 small round red chillies. add in the chicken and cook on high flame for a minute, reduce heat. Add  1 tbsp each of tomato sauce/ ketchup and tomato puree, salt to taste.Add 1ts cornflour to tbsp water. Add to the chicken and toss till dry. Serve as a starter.
