Fried Chicken with Lemongrass and Turmeric

My husband is really fond of Indian dish and he has requested me to prepare a fried chicken with some Indian flavor in it. It is a real challenge for me especially I do not really like fried food. Left with no choice, I have to Google around. Finally I manage to get similar recipe from the blog of Nasi Lemak Lover. I  did make a slight modification to suits with my family taste buds.

I have tried to use a lot of oil to fry, unfortunately it is still not that 'dry'. That is my husband's comment. I promise to fry longer so that the skin is really crispy.

Here is my first attempt of fried chicken....

Ingredients
10 pieces of chicken wings, cleaned

2 lemon grass
2 cm of ginger
5 shallots
2 cloves of garlic
2-3 tbsp of water
2 tbsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp of masalah powder
2 tps of salt
1 tbsp of corn flour


1. Blend lemon grass, shallots, ginger, garlic and water together until fine paste. Marinate chicken with all the ingredients for at least 1 hour.

2. Heat up a pot of oil. Test the readiness of oil using a chopstick. Once fine bubble appears around the chopstick, it indicates that the temperature is sufficient for frying.

3. Fry the chicken until brown and drain the excess oil using a strainer. Serve hot.
