Sweet and sour chicken recipe from the Chinese kitchens,is usually made with pineapple

or orange.This time i tried it with cherry tomatoes and the taste was equal in comparison

to  the recipe made with pineapple or orange.

Boneless chicken is best suited for this dish. You could use battered fried chicken/boiled

chicken/fried chicken/momos …..The battered ones, top the list of preferances.!

So,let’s get into the recipe!
