Ayam Gereng (Indonesian Fried Chicken)

Ingredients

1/2 c Tamarind water
1 tb Clear soya sauce
A pinch of chilli powder
1 ts Ground ginger
1 ts Ground coriander
1 Clove garlic, crushed
A pinch of turmeric

Preparation

1. The name means simply 'fried chicken', and that is all it is. The marinade, however, gives it a characteristically Indonesian flavour.
2. Marinate the pieces of chicken in this mixture for 2 hours, turning them from time to time. Strain the chicken, so that the marinade drips away from it.
3. Then deep-fry the portions, 4 or 5 at a time.

Conclusion

Chicken fried in this way is excellent with Nasi Goreng.
