!! Sweet & Sour Chicken !!


 C
hicken is all time kid’s favorite...I think it’s very easy to prepare & we can try a lot of recipes on chicken. It is also quickly digestible & available in all geographical locations. Today I’m sharing a brand new chicken item...I hope everyone will love it..The idea of this recipe came to me after watching a cookery show on TV. I‘ve tried to renovate it in my own way. This is a bit Indo-Chinese style of preparation. I‘ve always tried to prepare dishes from easily available ingredients...so that we can make them @ our kitchen with ease...
Before trying out this dish I was very tensed that how  this  will come out..But to my surprise it tasted fabulous..& my dear usual victim just can’t wait from licking his own fingers…I could not find a better name for it than “Sweet & Sour Chicken..” The main ingredients are honey & tomato or yogurt..The former is sweet & the latter being sour…& hence the name…
