Easy Malaysian Chicken Fry (Believe me it is very simple)

Malaysian chicken fry that Kanthi mummy makes is a very famous secret dish in our family. And it is a must have whenever we visit them. I asked the recipe many times but got multiple versions of it till one day when suzy akka leaked that to me. I was surprised to know that it didn’t include any of those aromatic powders, which I always though would make an amazing finger licking fry. Here is our family’s secret recipe.

Ingredients

Chicken pieces – 5 nos. medium sized
Clove 6 no. freshly powdered
Ginger garlic paste – 3 tbsp
Chilly powder – 2 tbsp
Curd – 2 tbsp
Turmeric – 1 tsp
All purpose flour – ¼ cup
Salt to taste
Oil to deep fry

Procedure:

Marinate the chicken with all ingredients except oil and set aside for atleast 1 hour.

Heat the oil in the frying pan and turn the flame low while frying the chicken. Roll the marinated chicken in the all purpose flour and put it in the oil. Repeat till you finish with all the pieces and cover it with a lid. After 5-7 minutes, uncover and turn the chicken. Allow it to fry for 5 more minutes and without lid. Remove them on to a tissue and dig in.
