Shix cooks: Lemon-ginger chicken

A simple recipe that it very over friendly

Ingredients:

Ground to a paste:

2 cloves onion

3 cloves garlic

2 tbsp chilli paste

2" ginger 

3 stalks lemongrass

1 tsp coriander seeds

1/2 tsp each fennel seeds and cumin seeds 

1 tsp lemon rind 

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 kg chicken

1/2 cup coconut cream

2 slices dried tamarind

Salt and sugar to taste

3 tbsp oil

Method: 

If you're planning to bake this, marinade the chicken in the spice paste together with salt and sugar then bake it at 170 deg for 30 mins

If you're cooking this on the stove top, start by heating the oil a wok or a deep skillet. Then, fry the paste till fragrant (and MasyaAllah, is it fragrant). Once that's done, add the tamarind slices and chicken. Cover your pot and let the chicken cook. After 20 mins, add in the coconut milk, salt and sugar. Let it cook for another 15 mins then it's done.
