Instructions
for the mango chili sauce
Puree the fresh mango pulp.
In a saucepan, add the mango puree along with rest of the ingredients. Pour 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Now, let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Taste for salt and add more, if required. If you want it spicy, add some more hot sauce. Once done, keep it aside.
for the fried lollipops
Marinate the chicken lollipops with egg, cornflower, flour, salt and pepper. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Once done, bring the oil to heat for deep-frying. Drop the lollipops, few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown in color.
Finally, pour the sauce in a big bowl, drop the fried lollipops and mix it up making sure the sauce coats the lollipops. While serving, sprinkle some fresh cilantro or parsley, and serve little bit of the sauce along with it for dipping.
Notes
If you are using chili instead of hot sauce, you might have to add more or less chili based on the spice level you are looking for.
If the mangoes are not sweet enough, add a little honey to enhance the taste.
The chicken lollipops could also be served after frying with the sauce as a dipping on the side. In this case, you might want to add a little bit more flavor in the chicken marinade.
