    Good! I tried this recipe and it came out OK. This dish was too dry for me and I would definitely recommend using corn flour/corn starch in the marinade. I would also like to recommend using only 1 tsp. salt instead of 2 tsps. The dish did not look anything like the picture. Overall, I love chilly chicken, but this recipe did not turn out to be as I expected. I don't think that I will be making this dish ever again. Thank you!

    Hi Priyanka!,Paprika is a spice made from the grinding of dried fruits of Capsicum annuum (e.g., bell peppers or chili peppers).Click this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paprika for further details.

    Add 1 tsp spring onions and 1 tsp chopped capsicum before turning off the flame.

    You can use the ready-made chilli chicken masala powder - 2tsp( or to taste) instead of chilli powder and paprika.
