Ingredients
For chicken marination
Chicken Breast- 400 gms (chopped in small cubes)
one egg
2 tbsp of corn flour
2 tbsp of APF 
Salt to taste
4 cloves of crushed garlic

For Gravy
2 tbsp of Brown Sugar
1 cup of Pineapple Juice
4 cloves of crushed garlic
1 tbsp of soya sauce
2 tbsp corn flour mixed in 1 cup cold water
1 tsp of vinegar
1 tbsp chili sauce
Salt to taste

Vegetables chopped in chunks
1 cup Capsicum
1 cup Pineapple
1 cup  Onion 
1 cup  Broccoli

Oil for cooking and deep frying the chicken pieces

Method
Mix all the marination ingredients together for at least two hour before cooking and keep it in the fridge.

Take a heavy bottom pan and add oil to cover the bottom. I have shallow fried the chicken here as it takes less oil. Add  the marinated chicken pieces one by one and cook from both sides for 5 minutes each in medium high flame.


Now take the same pan drain the excess oil and add one tbsp oil in it. Stir fry all the chopped veggies  in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes till they are all tender to touch.



 Add all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix them. Take 1 tsp oil in the pan add chopped garlic, fry it for 10 seconds and then add the sauce mixture. Let it boil for 2 minutes.


Now add the mixed cornflour solution and let it boil till the gravy thickens.
Once the gravy starts coming together, add the fried chicken and then the veggies and mix them thoroughly.



Let the gravy boil for two minutes. Close the burner and let it sit covered for few minutes before serving.
Serve it with steamed white rice or noodles.

Enjoy!

Currently, the legal system of the sub-continent owes much to British colonization regarding its structure, as it is one of the largest and most complex legal systems worldwide. One of its  special  characteristics is that the legal working hours  are structured   in a way  that many of the courts, especially the apex courts, remain shut for almost two months during the summer holidays. A practice that was perhaps well suited to the colonial period has lately been the subject of criticism in light of the current and growing requirement of the courts and the massive unprocessed case file.  Historical Context  The concept of summer vacations can be attributed to the British rule in India since they  too   followed  the practice.
