Steps

45 min

1

Combine all ingredients for marinade in a large bowl.
2

Clean and cut chicken in bite size pieces and add them to the marinade. Keep aside in refrigerator for 10-15 min.
3

Combine all ingredients for sauce making sure no lumps are formed.
4

Dice Onion, potato, carrot and bell pepper. Slice lotus root in rings. As potato and carrot takes time to cook, boil them for 10 min or until they are tender. Shallow fry all vegetables until they are tender. Do not crowd lotus roots as they become sticky before getting cooked.
5

Take marinated chicken, coat in starch and deep fry until it becomes golden brown. Drain excess oil with paper towel.
6

Combine vegetables and fried chicken in a pan, heat them evenly and pour sauce over. Keep tossing, this will thicken sauce n create even coat on chicken and vegetables.
