Hi bharat, I have tried this recipe and tasted really well. But the chicken had turned soft and wasn’t that crunchy.
I had fried the chicken pieces and kept them aside for 4-5 hours and tossed them later, but before guests came in. Is that the reason?

Thanks for replying Bharat. I would like to ask one more thing. This recipe is for “dry” chilli chicken. I want to have a good amount of “gravy”. For that, what extra needs to be added??
Thanking You,
Prakash
