3. After 1 hour, heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken until both sides are golden brown, then drain and set aside the remaining frying oil. 4. Pour a little of the frying oil, then sauté the roughly blended seasoning until fragrant. 5. Pour tamarind water and seasoning, then stir until well combined. 6. Add the previously fried chicken, then pour water. Stir and cook until the water reduces and the seasoning is absorbed.
