Crispy Turmeric Fried Chicken Recipe Made Simple
Today I am going to tell you about a recipe that was sent to me directly from Malaysia. It is based on chicken and turmeric, which is renowned for its beneficial effects. She claims that she prepares this dish daily.
Origins
Turmeric is native to India and Malaysia. The name turmeric comes from Arabic and means saffron. We have no record of who was the first person to cook chicken, but the first people to prepare it with turmeric were probably the people of south-east Asian countries.
Ingredients
I was not sent the quantities of ingredients because I was told that each family has its own dosage depending on personal taste and health. Let's not forget that we are talking about fried chicken anyway, so it is not a particularly light dish.
- Chicken fillet;
- Rice;
- Oil;
- Sliced and powdered garlic;
- Onions;
- Chilli pepper;
- Beans;
- Turmeric;
- Paprika;
- Black pepper;
- Lemon;
Preparation
- Cook the rice by simply boiling it.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan.
- Slice garlic, onions, chilli and beans.
- Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces and marinate with salt, turmeric, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper.
- Heat a frying pan with a little oil and add the marinated chicken.
- Wait a few minutes until the chicken is cooked and then add a little more oil.
- Add the previously sliced ingredients, lemon juice and mix well.
- The dish is served with rice and is very popular in Malaysia.
Acknowledgements and considerations
Many thanks to my friend from Malaysia who was willing to share this preparation with us. You will have noticed right away that there is no real indication of the quantity of the components precisely because it is a recipe that comes directly from Malaysia and they do everything by eye.
