Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken with salt, pepper, and ginger-garlic paste. Give it a good mix, then add chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and a splash of oil. Mix everything well to coat the chicken.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a pan and cook the chicken until it turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Add the carrot and cook for another minute, then toss in the capsicum and onion. Cook everything together for 1-2 minutes, then set it aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together water, tomato ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili sauce.
Step 4
In the same pan, add a little more oil and sauté chopped garlic for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir.
Step 5
Add the cornflour slurry to the pan and keep stirring as the sauce thickens, which should take 2-3 minutes. Once thickened, toss the cooked chicken and veggies back in. Give it a good mix and turn off the heat.
