Curry Deep Fried Chicken



Marinates are most important in deep frying



Indian Curry Deep Fried Chicken, Aunty Kamachi Penang very own Indian Home Cooking Kitchen Tested Recipe. Aunt Kamachi belongs to the old school of cooking. She grinds her spice using the Batu Geling and tumbuk(Stone mortar).


But for me, I do that sometimes but most times, I use our modern day facilities, that is the grinder. But I do agree the traditional grounded spices do taste great.


So to achieve that, I grind my spices at least twice to make it finer. In Indian Curry Deep Fried Chicken, spices when added in right proportion makes a world of difference.


It leaves a sweet aromatic taste and flavor the curry. Usually we prepare our own spices. I have personally cooked this curry many times.
