shallow fried soft boneless chicken |
Chicken is mostly deep fried. It is fried to be crispy in the outside and juicy in the inside. Today I am going to fry chicken in a different way. The chicken will not be crispy but soft both inside and out. Recently I made this for a dinner party. It was a sellout despite that it was not crispy. That is why I decided to post it here.
Recipe summary
For
Shallow fried soft boneless chicken
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Serves: 10
Preparation
1. In a blender make paste of 10 grams ginger and 5 cloves garlic with a little water. This ginger garlic paste will soften the chicken.
2. Wash and skin 1 kilo chicken breast. Cut into very small pieces of ¾ inch long. We cut this so small to absorb the spices.
Method
1. Mix 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon pepper powder 1 teaspoon salt, ginger garlic paste, and mix well.
Refrigerate for one hour.
2. In a large frying pan or a wok heat one cup of oil. The other cup we will add later as the oil is consumed in frying.
When the oil is hot reduce the heat to medium.
3. Add the chicken pieces and start frying.
Reduce the heat to low and let it fry slowly.
4. You have to stir the chicken often to get the chicken evenly cooked because there is not enough oil to cover the chicken.
Initially the chicken will ooze out its juices and let this evaporate. After all the chicken juice has evaporated you can cover the pan for short intervals to quicken the frying process. You fry for about 20 minutes. Add oil as the oil in the pan dries up.
5. After 20 minutes, add 5 large onions chopped coarsely. Stir well and continue frying for another 15 minutes.
Now the chicken will be soft and very tasty.
6.Now add a little pepper powder and mix well. Add washed and dried 1 sprig curry leaves. Fry for two minutes.Fried chicken is ready.
Taste for seasoning and adjust. when you prepare this dish you must take care staying near the cooker as you have to stir often.
Chicken is ready. It can be served with rice or bread.
I hope you will try and enjoy. This is my mother's recipe.I fry in sesame oil as it will be tasty.
