Hi Dimps I did try it with tofu but that becomes more like a tofu curry, for tofu /chicken or veg 65 the main taste comes frying things in batter then coating it with an Asian sauce/gravy 2 make it diff then wat we eat in Chinese. If I find a healthier version I will let u no 4 sure. Thanks khuserv 4 trying it out. cheers.

I made it two days back with less chilli. It was not the typical 65 version but the new change was good.Thank you. Dimps I don't think you can make it with out batter, it won't be the same.

I love chicken 65 but I am always hesitant eating it as it is fried then cooked and so much oil makes me step back , can you give any other suggestions on how to make this recipe healthier? Since you cook well.
