Fried Chicken With Tamarind Recipes

CRISPY FRIED TAMARIND CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Pour the chicken stock into a large pan and simmer for a minute. Add the chicken drumsticks and cook for 10 to 20 minutes. Drain well and keep aside. Combine the tamarind extract, salt and some hot water in a bowl. Mix well and pour this over the chicken drumsticks. Cover and keep aside for 2 to 3 hours. Drain well and pat dry. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium flame. Fry the drumsticks until golden and crisp. Remove and drain excess oil. Serve at once.

THAI TAMARIND CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix soy sauce and flour together in a large bowl until blended. Add chicken and mix until coated.
• Mix water, fish sauce, brown sugar, and tamarind paste together in a bowl.
• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic, chile pepper, and ginger and fry for 1 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the marinade and add to the wok; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 1/2 the tamarind sauce mixture to the wok and continue stir-frying until liquid dries up. Add remaining sauce and cook until chicken is no longer pink inside and sauce is thickened to desired consistency, 10 to 15 minutes more.

TURMERIC FRIED EGGS WITH TAMARIND AND PICKLED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Prepare the pickled shallots: Add the shallot, lime juice and a pinch of salt to a small bowl; use your fingers to gently massage everything together. Set aside to pickle lightly.
• Make the tamarind dressing: Add all the ingredients to a bowl, along with 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Prepare the spinach: Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for 90 seconds, stirring, until fragrant and lightly golden, then stir in the spinach (in batches, by the handful) and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and wipe out the pan.
• Prepare the eggs: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and the turmeric to the same pan; stir to combine and heat over medium-high. Once hot but not smoking, crack in the eggs and quickly sprinkle the whites with the sliced chile.
• Season the eggs all over with a good pinch of salt and use spatula to separate the whites so that the eggs are not joined together. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, spooning some of the oil over the whites. You want the whites to be crispy at the edges and the yolk to be runny. (You can cook it for longer, if you like your eggs more cooked.)
• When eggs are cooked to taste, use a spatula to transfer them to the plate with the spinach, drizzling with any extra turmeric oil left in the pan. Top with the pickled shallots and a spoonful of the tamarind dressing, serving any remaining alongside.

FRIED CHICKEN WITH TAMARIND

Steps:

• Clean chicken and cut into large pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Grate onions and crush garlic. Soak tamarind in boiling water, otherwise use tamarind puree. Arrange chicken pieces in a flat bowl, sprinkle on grated onion and garlic and strain on tamarind water. Marinate for 20 mins. Remove chicken pieces, drain and pat dry with kitchen paper. Heat oil until almost smoking and carefully add pieces of chicken. Deep fry for 2 mins, then remove from oil and return to marinade while remaining pieces are cooked. Marinate for at least 10 minutes the second time, then drain again and pat dry. Return to the hot oil and cook again for 2 minutes. Marinate once more,then fry chicken another 2 mins. It should be crisp on the surface and the meat tender and moist. Serve either peanut sauce or with soy sauce and krupuk or potato crisps.
