Instructions
 

To cook the Rice

  • Cook 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water and 2 tsp of oil until it is done. The rice to water ratio will depend on the quality of rice and the cooking method.
  • Once done, take the rice out and spread it on a plate.
  • Allow it to cool completely.

To make the Fried Chicken

  • Take chicken pieces in a bowl and add ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, kashmiri red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix it well and marinate for 5-10 minutes.
  • Add egg and give a good mix. Next, add maida, cornflour, and a few tablespoons of water. Mix well. Keep this marinated chicken aside for about 20 minutes. I’ve kept it in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, turn the flame to medium and drop the chicken pieces one by one and fry until they turn golden brown in color.
  • Take the fried chicken pieces out onto a plate.

To make the Street style Chicken Fried Rice

  • Beat/whisk the eggs with salt and pepper. Keep it aside.
  • Can cut the big-size fried chicken pieces into 2 or 3.
  • Heat wok over high flame. When super hot, add oil and swirl it all around the wok. This creates a non-stick layer.
  • Add the whisked egg and allow it to set for 5 seconds.
  • Scramble the eggs, stirring vigorously, and scrap from the bottom of your wok. Push the scrambled eggs to one side. Note: do not over-fry the eggs.
  • Add fried chicken pieces, curry leaves, and ginger garlic paste. Saute for a few seconds until the raw smell goes away.
  • Add the chopped veggies and saute for 30 seconds.
  • Add the cooked rice and give a good stir.
  • Add red chili powder, chicken masala powder, garam masala, kashmiri red chili powder, salt, green chili sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar.
  • Saute vigorously over high flame to combine all the ingredients well. Pause for a 2-3 seconds and stir again so that rice gets evenly heated. Taste test, and adjust the seasoning and spice if needed. Turn off the heat.
  • Lastly, add coriander leaves or spring onions and give a gentle stir. 
  • Street style Chicken Fried Rice is ready to serve.

Notes

Do not crack the eggs in the wok. Instead, break them into a bowl and whisk. By
following this, the quantity of scrambled eggs will be more.
Adjust the spices and sauces as per your palate.
Curry leaves lend a unique aroma and flavor to the fried rice.
