CRUNCHY SESAME CHICKEN WITH SOUR CREAM DIP

I remember attending a Holi party at a aunt's place. It was there I had this innovative Crunchy Sesame Paneer Recipe... And I was absolutely bowled over by the super crunchy layer outside and the  amazing soft texture, and the flavour the paneer strips had possessed. It was a perfect snack. What I loved about the whole recipe was its ingredients. Everything was just so healthy that you need not restrict your kids from gorging on to it... I got the recipe from her, tried it at home, and it came out pretty well. But, as I'm never happy with simple things when it comes to cookery, I decided to do a bit of experiment and it was then that the whole idea of replacing the paneer with chicken and serving it with a sour cream dip came about. Then I made it several times, then I changed a few ingredients as part of my experiments. As I replaced the paneer with chicken, the same way it can be replaced by fish fillet, bacon, or even sliced steaks.
