Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken (cut into 10-12 pieces)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Seasoning (to taste)
  • 4 tamarind pieces
  • Water
  • Cooking oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    Begin by thoroughly cleaning the chicken pieces. Place them in a pot and add enough water to cover the chicken.

  2. Season and Simmer:
    Add salt, seasoning, and tamarind to the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer, cooking until the water level reduces and the chicken is tender.

  3. Drain the Chicken:
    Once the chicken is cooked and the liquid has reduced, remove the chicken pieces from the broth and set them aside.

  4. Fry the Chicken:
    Heat cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces until they turn a golden-brown color and become crispy on the outside.

  5. Serve:
    Remove the fried chicken from the oil and drain excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy!

This simple and delicious fried chicken is perfect for a quick meal, and the tamarind adds a delightful tangy flavor that complements the crispy exterior.
