Rice & Spiced Chicken Budget Recipe (For 4 whole chicken)

Ingredients:

A handful of dried chilli
10 stalks of lemongrass (roughly chopped)
2 whole garlic
3 whole onion
1 ginger
Galangal
2 ladle of curry powder
Turmeric or turmeric powder
1 small packet of corn flour
Half of the coconut, grated (flavor and chicken crust enhancer)
Curry leaves
2 tbsp of sugar
Salt to taste
1 egg

Cooking methods:

Coriander, fennel seed and cumin (coarsely blend).
Blend dried chilies, lemongrass, garlic, onion and galangal.
Mix all the ingredients and marinate for a while (the longer the marinade, the tastier the dish).
Make sure all the chicken is coated evenly.
Heat up some cooking oil.
Make sure the cooking oil has the appropriate amount to deep fry the chicken.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken one by one (don’t put too much chicken at once as the frying process will be difficult).
When the chicken has changed color and brings out the spiced aroma, remove it from heat.
Place the chicken onto a kitchen towel to absorb the oil.
Enjoy your meal!
