Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 pieces Shallots
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 pieces Red chilies
- 2 medium, diced Tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol
- 1 medium, sliced Cucumber
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
In a blender, combine garlic, shallots, ginger, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend into a fine paste to make the marinade.
Step 2
Marinate the chicken thighs with the paste, ensuring they are well coated. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
Step 3
In a large pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs.
Step 4
Fry the chicken, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and the skin is crispy, about 20-25 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the sambal. In another pan, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the red chilies and tomatoes, cooking until the tomatoes are soft. Season with salt to taste.
Step 7
Transfer the chili-tomato mixture to a blender. Add lime juice and erythritol, then blend to form a coarse sambal.
Step 8
Once the chicken is cooked, remove and place it on a cutting board. Use a meat mallet to gently smash the chicken to flatten it slightly.
Step 9
Serve the smashed chicken with sambal, sliced cucumber, and lettuce leaves on the side.
