Best of Both Worlds - Sweet & Sour Chicken

15:36 Unknown 0 Comments

Hello my loves - So this recipe I actually created with my momma. We were both out shopping as you do at our local supermarket and came across this 'Uncle Ben's sweet and sour' jar. My mum and I have very similar taste buds, however my dad on the other hand is a very desi indian food lover! Literally to the point where he will only eat your basic roti/chappati and curries.  We started thinking of a way of mixing this Uncle Bens jar up with something of our own and what better than to use our Indian cultural cooking! Together we created this recipe and it worked so brilliantly and our family loved it. Who knew what a bit of Indian spice can do but also keep something so simple! 
This recipe is a special one, it was the first recipe and meal I cooked for my best friend Ammaarah (p.s she's also a blogger for fashion and lifestyle, give her a follow 'thatmaragirl). I cant wait for you all to try this out for your own family and cook it as a first meal for your friends too :)

Guys, personally I feel this goes best with boiled rice but the choice is yours. Hope you enjoy this. (Quick tip: Your all chefs so if you feel you want to add something of your own or extra masala you can do so, make it your own!).
