Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
-
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
-
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt (approximately)
-
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (approximately)
-
200 g chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch strips (approx 2 pcs)
-
1/2 cup roasted salted cashews (crushed or finely chopped)
-
2 tablespoons melted butter or 2 tablespoons oil
-
-
1/2 cup mayonnaise
-
1 -2 teaspoon curry powder
-
1 tablespoon crushed roasted cashews
-
1 egg
Instructions
- Combine the first 7 ingredients together in a shallow plate/bowl/ziplock bag; mix well.
- Coat the chicken strips with the flour mixture by placing them into the ziplock bag and shaking it, or using chopsticks to dredge them in the plate.
- Lightly beat the egg (I put it in a wide soup bowl/plate; it's easier for dipping).
- Shaking off excess flour, dip the chicken fingers in the beaten egg.
- Immediately, roll the chicken in the crushed cashews to coat; set the nut-coated chicken onto lightly oiled baking pan.
- Repeat with remaining chicken.
- You may now bake the chicken fingers or chill it in the fridge for a few hours until you're ready to cook (chilling may help the coating to adhere better).
- Just before baking, drizzle melted butter/oil over chicken and bake in preheated oven at 400°F / 210°C for 10-15mins, until cooked through and golden brown.
- To make sauce: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
- You may also serve the chicken fingers with ketchup or sweet Thai chili sauce.
