Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then take your chicken out of the fridge, open the packet and let it air
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into thin fries, then add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil, your black mustard seeds and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp – these are your spiced fries
While the fries are cooking, peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic
Cut your chicken breast strips into bite-sized pieces, then add to a bowl with your garam masala, chopped garlic and a generous pinch of salt
Give everything a good mix up – this is your spiced chicken
Crack your egg[s] into a bowl, add a splash of cold water and beat lightly with a fork
Add your panko breadcrumbs to a separate large bowl, season with a pinch of salt and mix to combine
Add the spiced chicken to the beaten egg and give it a good mix up, then add it to the breadcrumbs and toss until nicely coated all over
Transfer the breaded chicken pieces to a separate baking tray (or two!) and put the tray[s] in the oven for 15 min or until golden and cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your Keralan-style popcorn chicken
Top, tail, peel and grate your carrot[s]
Add the grated carrot to a bowl with the juice of your lime[s], black sesame seeds, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil – this is your zesty carrot slaw
Add your mayo to a small bowl with your mango chutney and give it a good mix up – this is your mango mayo
Slice your green chilli[es] finely
Trim, then slice your spring onion[s]
Serve the Keralan-style popcorn chicken with the spiced fries, zesty carrot slaw and mango mayo to the side
Garnish with the sliced spring onion and sliced green chilli (can't handle the heat? Go easy!)
Enjoy!
