Add in garlic and ginger. Saute very well till it is nice and brown till the rawness of the garlic is gone.
Add the red chilli paste. You can adjust the amount depending upon the level of spiciness you want. Sauté for sometime till the oil separates. Add in salt and pepper. Saute very well.
Add in soya sauce and chilly sauce. Till now you wouldn’t have got the saucy look to the sauce. So at this stage add few tablespoons of water till you get that perfect sauce like consistency.

For Marination
In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients from maida to salt. Add a few extra drops of water if the batter is very thick.
Add the chicken pieces and mix to coat well. Let it marinate, covered, in the fridge for 3-4 hours.
Heat oil on high heat, in a deep vessel. Reduce the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces, a few pieces at a time.
Fry for 3-4 mins turning the pieces occasionally. If you fry it further, the color of the coating will change from red to brown, if you used food color.
Keep this aside
Finally mix the fried chicken pieces in the Schezwan sauce.
