Ayam Goreng

Ingredients

• 1 md chicken
• 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

Directions

The name means simply 'fried chicken', and that is all it is. The marinade, however, gives it a characteristically Indonesian flavour. 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. Then deep-fry the portions, 4 or 5 at a time. Chicken fried in this way is excellent with Nasi Goreng. [Nasi Goreng is fried rice. S.C.] Makes 4 servings.
