Blooming Bellies Electrifying Strummers

I love attending family functions for the food. Sometimes I get to enjoy Grandma’s home-cooked comfort food; sometimes it’s my Father-in-law’s curry chicken or sambal prawns; and I especially enjoy my husband’s aunty’s recipe for fried chicken. So here, recreated specially for this Blooming Bellies feature, is the recipe for spicy, tongue-tingling, finger-licking good tandoori fried chicken, rocking Punjabi style! *cue Bollywood Bhangra music*

5.      Put in the drumsticks one or two at a time, before retreating to shield yourself from oil splatters.

6.      Use a pair of tongs to occasionally turn the chicken during cooking.

7.      Once the chicken turns golden brown, bring it out and leave it on a wire rack to let drip excess oil.

8.     Then dig in! (Serving suggestion)

Hope you enjoy making (and eating) this as much as I did making the poster boy for Bloom’s Fried Chicken—electrifyingly good!
