2 tbsp vinegar/lemon
1/2 cup water
Cornflour solution (2 tbsp flour+1/2 cup water)

Directions/Instructions:
  1. Grind the green chili without water to a coarse paste in a grinder.  Set aside.
  2. Add oil to a wok over medium heat. Add the coarse green chili paste and fry for a minute or until aromatic.
  3. Add the turmeric powder, mix well, and cook for 1 minute. Then, add the water, vinegar, and salt. Stir to combine and bring it to a boil.
  4. Then add the chicken pieces and continue to stir to mix. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
  5. Lastly, add the cornstarch solute and cook for 2-3 minutes until the gravy slightly thickens.  Andhra chili chicken is ready to be served.  Enjoy!
Tip:
To enhance the flavor, cornstarch can be substituted for cashew paste. I use 12-15 cashews + 100 ml water and grind to a smooth paste.
