nasi ayam

saturday was a good cooking and eating session. nasi ayam dedicated to baya ( my baby) and irene....

recipe for the nasi from http://resepi.mesra.net/Detailed/2472.shtml

and malay fried chicken

for the marinade:
1/2 tsp 5 spice powder
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup coconut milk

Marinade overnight/ at least 2 hrs befoe frying..
Fry on the first side until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes; the timing will depend on how hot the oil is. Turn the chicken pieces over with 2 forks or a pair of tongs and continue to fry them. You may need to raise and lower the heat a few times to maintain the proper frying temperature. The oil should always be bubbling vigorously. It should take 20 to 25 minutes total to fry the chicken. If you're not sure if the chicken is cooked through, test it by poking a fork into the thickest portion and then pressing down on it. The juices that are released should run clear, not pink. Remove the chicken pieces to wire rack or paper towels and let drain for a few minutes before transferring them to a serving platter.

Serve with rice.
