FRIED CHICKEN WITH LEMON GRASS & CORIANDER

|

Directions
  1. Place lemon grass, shallots, garlic, ginger, salt, ground pepper and turmeric in a small electric chopper or blender and blend to a fine paste, adding as little water as possible. (Alternatively, pound ingredients together in a mortar and pestle.) Stir in coriander seeds.
  2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and place in a bowl with the prepared marinade. Mix well and set aside for 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, combine Quaker instant oatmeal and flour together in a large bowl. Working one piece at a time, dip chicken in the oatmeal mixture, patting it in well. Gently shake off any excess.
  4. Heat oil in a wok to a depth of about 4 cm over medium heat. Fry chicken, a few pieces at a time for about 6 – 7 minutes per side. Drain well in a wire basket. Serve hot.
