This Indo‑Chinese favorite balances lively tang with gentle sweetness and a hint of heat. Marinated boneless chicken is lightly battered and fried until crisp, then wok‑tossed with garlic, ginger, onions, and bell peppers. A glossy sweet‑sour sauce—built on vinegar, ketchup, a touch of soy, and sugar—clings to each bite, while pineapple adds juicy bursts that round the flavors. Perfect as a starter or a side with fried rice or noodles.
