Lily, your chicken has wonderful color. These are spicier than my recipe. I'll have to try these very soon.
Lily,
Do you have to pan-fry the chicken wings first and then deep-fry them?
Looks yummy!
Lily, the chicken is simply delicious... a real traditional look! Lovely!
If I do not want to fry them, can I put them in the oven and bake them?
zoey
perhaps you can, spray to coat the drummettes and bake in the oven until dry but fried foods are so much tastier and if done with the correct oil temp. it will not be soggy
I wonder if there is any substitute for the coconut cream, or I can just opt out?
anonymous
in this recipe, you were right to opt out the coconut cream but if it is for curry then you could sub with evaporated milk or yogurt as then, the cream would be like a thickener besides giving curry the rich flavor
Yum Yum Yummmmmmmmmmy I remember this delicious dish from way back when my Mom used to cook it for us. Oh boy Lily, you sure have zillion recipes. I have to try this for sure.
