Ingredients:
  • 3 tbsp tamarind water
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 8-10 large red chilies, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • pinch turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
  • 6 shallots or 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • vegetable oil for deep-frying
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2-1/2 to 3-pound chicken, cut into serving pieces
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
How To:
  1. To make the marinade, mix together the tamarind water, turmeric, salt, coriander, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken pieces, and marinate for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. To make the chili sauce, in a frying pan fry the chiles and shallots or onions in the oil, stirring continuously, for about 5-6 minutes. Add the salt. Set aside.
  3. Drain the chicken from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Deep-fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, until the skin is golden brown and the bones are crisp. Put all the fried chicken in a large bowl and pour the chile sauce over it. Using two large spoons, turn the chicken pieces over and over until they are evenly coated.
  4. This dish should be eaten with the fingers, either as a snack or as a main course with fried rice or fried noodles.
