Tamarind Chicken

Published by Angeleyes under Halal, Poultry

This is something I have wanted to try for sometime but I hardly buy chicken meat so never have the chance until now. Surprisingly it tasted quite good… For those who are craving for more sourish dish… maybe can give this a try.

Ingredients

  • 400-500g Chicken meat (I used 2 drumsticks + 2 breasts)
  • 2 Bombay onions
  • 2 Chili padi

  • 1tbsp Brown sugar

Methods

  1. Cut chicken to smaller pieces, add cut chili padi, oil, tamarind juice, brown sugar, black soy sauce, salt and pepper to marinade for 2-3 hours (best over night)
  2. From the residue of the tamarind earlier, put another 1/4 cup of water and sive out juice for the sauce later.
  3. Heat up wok with a little oil, lightly fry the chicken pieces without any sauce from the marinade. Lift it when cooked.
  4. There will be sauce in the wok after you completed frying the chicken, leave it and throw in cut onions and continue to fry until slightly soft, put the fried chicken pieces and continue to stir for 3-4 minutes, pour in the tamarind juice (those left in the marinade and the additional) and stir for a further few minutes.
