Indonesian Fried Chicken

There are so many ways of making Indonesian fried chicken. But basically, you boiled the chicken with some spices and then, fried them. The differences are on what kind of spices do you use. You can try the most simplest one (by using some garlics and ginger) or a complex one. And yes, there are different degrees of complexity, so there is a room for you to try something new? *devil mode*.

Ingredients
Half chicken or 2-3 large chicken breast or drumsticks
3-5 cloves of garlic
7 small red onions
Half of onion
2 cm of ginger. Crush it. Or 2 tea spoon of ginger powder.

1 lemon grass
2-3 indian bay leaves
20 ml of coconut milk
1 spoon of olive oil
1/3 tea spoon of salt


How to cook
1. Put in a blender: garlic, small red onions, onion, ginger.
2. Fry it with one spoon of olive oil in a medium cooking pan. Put the lemon grass and the indian bay leaves.
3. When you smell something nice from the spices (yes, this is a traditional way to see that the spices are cooked enough and to put the chicken :P). Put the chicken, add some water -1/3 cup- and leave it for 3 minutes or until it is boiled.
3. Pour the coconut milk, add some water again, around half to 1 cup, turn the stove to low heat, and leave it until it gets dried.
4. Fried the chicken.

this is .... yummmmmm.
The ingredient may be a little bit concern for the overweight :-(
Well, if I could enjoy this fried chicken once a week and had to work out for the rest of the week, I think I could live with that :-)
