Ayam Goreng Berempah ( Malay Spiced Fried Chicken)
This Malay style fried chicken is simply ......... so crunchy, juicy and bursting
with the strong flavours of many herbs and spices in it.
When frying the chicken, once all the aromatic herbs start sizzling away
in the wok, my entire kitchen will be filled with such a nice spice aroma.
My hubby who just came back from golf said he could smell the aroma
even before he reaches the house when I first fry this chicken. Certainly
very pleased to hear him say that!
Ingredients:
6 chicken whole legs ( clean and drain well)
2 inch lengkuas
2 inch ginger
1 inch tumeric
3 cloves garlic
3 lemongrass
( Coarsely grind all ingredients above )
2 tablespoon biji ketumbar
1 tablespoon jintan manis
1 tablespoon jintan putih
( Finely grind all ingredients above )
2 tablespoon meat curry powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 stalks curry leaves
Method:
1. Season the chicken whole legs with some table salt, sugar, curry
leaves and meat curry powder.
2. Then marinate the chicken with all grind ingredients. Leave for at
least 1 hr or preferably overnight.
3. Deep fry the chicken on low to medium heat together with the grind
spices. Do not turn the chicken until the bottom part is well cooked.
Fry together with the spices. To prevent the grind spices from getting
burnt, use a strainer to strain the spices in the oil. Continue frying till
chicken is cooked. Cook in small batches. Garnish with the fried
spices before serving.
Leave to marinade in the fridge after all spices added
Fried in batches....................
Also garnish with the fried spices for a more elaborate spread.
Served with rice,............... or alongside Nasi Lemak for a more divine experience!
Also served with extra spicy sambal chili, for a more fulfilled appetitie.
Of course,.....it will be perfect if served with some piping hot home cooked Nasi Lemak
made from Brasmati rice.
Enjoy!!!
