Dragon Chicken

This is an Indo- Chinese fusion chicken dish with vibrant colour. Here chicken pieces are cut into strips and  fried cashew nuts also added. These are the differences I noticed about this recipe, otherwise it is almost  similar to chilly chicken. It is very delicious and can be served as a side dish with any food items. You can have it as a starter also. In this recipe i have used chilly sauce, instead of that you can grind dry red chilly and make a paste out of it.
