Mix the corn flour and all purpose flour with salt. Add 1 cup of water to it.
Heat 2tbsp oil in a frying pan.
Coat the chicken pieces with the batter and drop it into the oil.
Saute the chicken pieces for at least 7-8 minutes so that they are thoroughly browned on all sides.
Heat about 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add the chopped ginger, garlic, green chillies and the bulb of spring onions to the pan.
Saute for 2-3 minutes on a medium flame.
Lower the flame and add vinegar, soy sauce, chilli sauce and tomato ketchup and mix it up nicely.
Cook for 1 minute and then add chicken stock.
If you have a sauce of the right consistency, you can add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce.
If the sauce is still watery, add 1tsp of corn flour to it.
Then garnish the chilli chicken with onion greens to the pan. Mix it up and you will get the lovely green colour.
Do not add too much salt to the sauce because all the sauces have salt in them.
