Instructions
- Clean the chicken and pierce it with a skewer or a fork. Mix the tamarind with ½ tsp of salt, and rub it all over the poultry. Make sure all pieces are covered with tamarind mixture. Leave to marinate.
- Using a pestle and mortar, pound the chillies, onion, and tomatoes into a rough paste. You can use a food processor too. Just give it a few blitzes to process. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a deep frying pan or a wok then deep-fry the chicken pieces until light golden and thoroughly cooked. Set aside.
- Using ⅓ cup (80 ml/ 2.82 oz) of the oil from frying the chicken, fry the chilli mixture, garlic and ½ tsp of salt in another pan. Cook until all the liquid evaporates and the oil separates from the edges.
- In the meantime, lay the chicken pieces on a chopping board. Using a pestle, pound the chicken until it’s slightly bruised.
- Then quickly but carefully pour the chilli mixture over the chicken. Enjoy.
Notes
- If you like hot chilli flavour, you can omit the tomato and just use chillies and onions. And you can double the number of chillies if you prefer a hotter-sauce. Equally, if you want a milder heat, you can replace some chillies with more tomatoes. Just bear in mind that the more tomatoes you put it, the longer you have to cook and fry the chilli mixture. Because obviously, tomatoes release more juice.
