:: Ayam Goreng Berempah ::

we had guests on friday night. at first, hubby asked me to cook baked pasta only, but then, after we all dengar the mother is tagging along (she's quite old), i said to myself, it's very inappropriate, as most elder people prefer rice to pasta surely! so i dished up some chicken rice (recipe as before) but i changed the chicken to ayam berempah.

got the recipe from buku chef hanieliza, and i truly believe it's such a good value buying that book, as so far most of the recipe turned out right.

so give it a try! fair dinkum easy!

:: ingredients ::
chicken (pat dry - important for the spices to stick to it)
curry leaves

:: pounded ::
3 stalks lemongrass
5 bulbs garlic
1 inch ginger

:: marinade ::
curry powder
chilli powder
white pepper
salt

:: method ::
1. marinade the chicken with the pounded and marinade ingredients.
2. leave it to stand for at least half an hour.
3. heat the oil (enough for deep frying) in the wok.
4. put in the curry leave first, then fry the chicken till brown.
5. serve warm.

easy peasy!
