Chilli Chicken Gravy (Crispy)

It's a Chinese gravy preparation with crispy feel of chicken. I prepare this as per my own style as I never use MSG (monosodium glutamate) or Ajina as it is extremely bad for our health. I din't feel anything special or different about this ingredients and I completely avoid it not only in this recipe, but in any recipe that I know. This is almost a regular item during weekend because for my kids. The combination of Chicken or Prawn Chowmin with Chilli Chicken Gravy is always a delightful items for them.
