Notes
For extra crunch, you can double fry the chicken pieces. Adjust the number of green chilies based on your heat preference. Feel free to add more vegetables like broccoli or carrots for added nutrition. If you want a thicker sauce, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the sauce while cooking.
