Oil (just enough
to cover croquettes during frying)
Batter:
125 grams self
raising flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
Water (In small
quantities to obtain a thick batter)
Method:
Cut chicken into
1 cm (half inch) pieces.
Season the
chicken pieces with the fish sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside
to absorb seasoning. Be careful not to add too much salt.
Beat up the 2
eggs and 1 tablespoon water.
Mix the flour and
salt. Gradually blend in the egg mixture. Add water little by
little to obtain a thick batter consistency. It should just run
off slowly from a tablespoon.
Add the corn
flour to the chicken pieces and mix thoroughly. Mix the chicken
pieces into the batter to uniformly coat every chicken piece.
Heat oil (enough
to cover croquettes during frying) in a deep frying pan (carail)
to simmering point. Reduce heat to low.
Spoon out the
chicken pieces one at a time with a batter coating and drop into
the simmering oil. Cook to a light golden brown colour.
Remove cooked
croquettes, drain and serve hot with chilli sauce or sauce d'ail
(refer to "Sauce d'ail recipe").
Enjoy, close your
eyes and you see yourself in l'hotel Chinois Maurice.
