MASALA FRIED CHICKEN
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken pieces
- 100 g butter
- 4 tbsp oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp madras masala or kashmiri chili powder
- 1 tsp Portuguese chicken spice
- 1 tsp ground fennel
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ginger and garlic paste
- 1 tsp dried red chillies
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ cup fresh cream (optional)
- Handful of freshly chopped coriander
Instructions
- Pre-cook chicken as mentioned in my introduction. (above)
- Keep aside until needed.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Pour in the oil. Add the ground spices, dry chillies, ginger, and garlic paste and the lemon juice. Stir well together until heated through. Add in half of the chopped coriander.
- Pour the butter mixture over the boiled chicken pieces and stir to coat the pieces all over with the mixture. Set the flame on medium and allow the chicken to fry on all sides until crispy and aromatic.
- Stir occasionally to avoid burning or sticking to the pot.
- The frying should take less than 10 minutes, depending on how crispy you prefer.
- Lastly stir in the fresh cream. (optional)
- Sprinkle with the remaining chopped coriander and serve with your favourite sides! It goes great with garlic buttered mash, rotis and a crispy green salad!
