Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 2 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 5 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 pieces Shallots, minced
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 milliliters Coconut oil
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
Directions
Step 1
Clean and pat dry the chicken drumsticks with paper towels.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, fennel seeds, ground ginger, minced garlic, minced shallots, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Add the chicken drumsticks to the bowl and rub them thoroughly with the spice mix until evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
Step 4
Heat coconut oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add curry leaves to infuse the oil with their flavor for about 1 minute.
Step 5
Carefully add the marinated chicken drumsticks to the oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry each batch for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Step 7
Remove the fried chicken and curry leaves from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve your sugar-free Ayam Goreng Berempah hot, garnished with the crispy curry leaves for added aroma and flavor.
