Chicken in Schezwan Sauce/ Restaurant Style

yyyuui

My love for spicy foods have taken over my cooking too. Couple days back i was in a spicy mood, so decided to try out some schezwan cuisine. And i am telling you, this has become one of my favourite foods in the world. Schezwan chicken is one of the popular style chicken appetizers served across the globe. It has orginated from the chinese cuisine but we get to see distinct versions. One such version is the recipe i am sharing today, an indo chinese receipe. Here today i am posting a semi spicy saucy schezwan chicken.
