Pickle Chicken

Pickled chicken is a south Indian recipe I picked up from my grandmother and is a Godsend for working mothers like me. It can be a side dish in itself and can be tossed with noodles or pasta for an instant snack when one is dead tired and has no energy to cook anything elaborate

Steps

1. Buy a kilogram of boneless chicken, clean and dice it into one inch cubes.
2. Next prepare a marinade of 1 tbs of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp of turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
3. Julienne 3" of ginger and 1 whole pod of garlic and wash a hand full of curry leaves
4. Next deep fry the diced chicken in oil that is just enough to cover the chicken.Take it out and let it drain on paper towels.
5. If the oil is still clean, fry the ginger and garlic for 2 to three minutes, and also pop the curry leaves for a minute before scooping them all out of the oil.
6. Add half a cup of vinegar to the same oil and turn off the heat in a minute
7. Put the fried chicken, ginger, garlic and curry leaves in a clean dry glass jar
8. Pour the oil and vinegar mixture over the chicken, ginger and garlic

Tips

• the trick is to keep the temperature low to prevent the oil from burning
• It is good to use oil in which the chicken has been fried for the next two steps as that helps retain the flavor
• This pickled chicken stays for a long time at room temperature in cooler climes and needs refrigeration if staying in a coastal area or warmer places.
