Deep-Fried Chicken Recipe

(Malaysian Recipe)

1 chicken, about 1.5 kg cut into 5 cm pieces

1 teaspoon ginger juice

1½ teaspoons salt

125 ml pure coconut cream, squeezed from ½ grated coconut

cooking oil for deep-frying

Ingredients to be ground:

15 dried chilies, soaked

1 tablespoon coriander seeds

2 teaspoons fennel seeds

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1.25 cm cinnamon stick

2 cloves

1 teaspoon ground white pepper

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

Garnishing:

Cucumber slices

Tomato slices

Method:

Wash chicken pieces and pat dry.  Into a mixing bowl, put chicken, ground ingredients, ginger juice, salt and coconut cream.  Mix well and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.  Heat oil for deep-frying in a wok until smoking hot.  Lower in chicken pieces and deep-fry without stirring for 2 minutes.  Reduce heat and continue cooking until golden brown.  Turn heat up before removing chicken from wok so as to prevent chicken from being too oily.  When done, garnished and serve hot.
