Create the Schezwan Sauce Base
Thicken the Gravy
Combine and Serve
Replace the chicken with 400g of paneer cubes, tofu, or gobi (cauliflower florets). Lightly coat and fry them before adding to the gravy.
Use 400g of shelled and deveined prawns. Marinate for only 10 minutes and fry for 2-3 minutes until just cooked.
Instead of deep-frying, pan-fry the marinated chicken in a little oil until golden and cooked, or cook it in an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 12-15 minutes.

Schezwan Chicken is a delicious indulgence but is generally not considered a health food. It is high in sodium from sauces and fat from deep-frying. To make it healthier, you can pan-fry or air-fry the chicken and use low-sodium soy sauce.
A typical serving of Schezwan Chicken Gravy contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the amount of oil absorbed and the specific sauces used. This estimate includes the chicken, batter, and gravy.
To reduce the heat, decrease the amount of Schezwan sauce and red chili sauce. You can add 1-2 teaspoons of tomato ketchup to balance the flavors with a hint of sweetness and tang.
Yes, you can omit the egg from the marinade. The cornflour and maida will still create a crispy coating. The batter might be slightly less rich, but the result will still be delicious.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in a microwave. Please note that the chicken will lose its crispiness upon refrigeration and reheating.
