If your family loves chicken as much as mine, I'm thinking you can never have too many chicken recipes. This is child's play and the fresh garlic and chilli powder give it a real punch! The mayonnaise may sound like a strange addition but it helps the spices, seasonings and panko to stick on to the chicken. Enjoy the spicy savoury flavour on it's own, with white rice or nasi lemak (coconut rice).
This recipe has saved dinner time from a pizza delivery or burger blowout, more times than I can remember and goodness, who doesn't like tender, juicy, flavourful chicken under a golden crust, that you could put together, practically with your eyes closed?
Curry is HUGE in Singapore. How huge, you ask? It was not so long ago, in the eye of a social storm within our fair isle. It’s a pretty convoluted story, but the gist of it is that two neighbours got themselves in the news, both locally and internationally, when one of the neighbours (foreigners from China) raised an almighty stink about the other neighbour’s (a local Indian family) habit of cooking curry, which every foodie worth his or her salt knows, is no shrinking violet in the olfactory department. It’s no secret that if you cook curry in an apartment kitchen, the aromatic vapours can snake their way up and down the entire apartment building.
Still, we Singaporeans regardless of race, LOVE our curry and were quite incensed that the mainland Chinese family had actually tried to stop the Indian family cooking their curry by bringing the matter to the attention of the local Community Mediation Centre. Thus was the Cook and Share a Pot of Curry movement born. Through this movement, and thanks to the power of the internet, over 60 000 people worldwide cooked and/or ate curry either alone or with family and friends, on August 21 2011, to spread the message of tolerance, respect and acceptance of unfamiliar cultures.
