What is chili chicken?
Chili chicken is the flagship of Indo-Chinese cooking: crispy boneless chicken stir-fried with capsicum, onion, garlic and green chili in a sweet and tangy sauce. The style was born in Kolkata's Chinese community and conquered every Indian city. It is not a curry: it is a wok dish with an Indian soul.
Chili chicken at Passage to India
Ours is $18.99, made with halal boneless chicken fried crisp, then tossed hot so the sauce clings instead of pooling. It is one of the dishes guests mention by name: as one review puts it, "we especially love the chili chicken and butter chicken along with garlic naan."
How spicy is it?
Medium by default, with fresh green chili doing the work. We can pull it back for kids or push it hotter on request. Vegetarian at the table? Chili Paneer ($16.99) is the same wok treatment with our house paneer.
What to order with it
Chili chicken loves plain rice or veg fried rice, and it pairs perfectly with a mild, creamy curry like butter chicken so the table has both fire and cream. Order chili chicken online for pickup or delivery in Niagara Falls.
