Ingredients

• 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
• 200 grams Greek yogurt
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves
• 30 grams Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 500 ml Cooking oil for frying
• 20 grams Fresh coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated ginger, coriander powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add lime juice to the marinade and mix well to ensure all the spices are integrated.

Step 3

Clean and pat dry the chicken drumsticks using paper towels.

Step 4

Place the chicken drumsticks into the marinade, ensuring they are fully covered. Massage the marinade into the chicken.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, ideally for 1-2 hours for better flavor absorption.

Step 6

Heat cooking oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, gently place the marinated chicken drumsticks into the oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.

Step 8

Fry the chicken for about 10-12 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked.

Step 9

Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C (165°F).

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the chicken and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice or a side salad.
