Before I begin, apologies if this is old hat, but it's new to me.
I was watching Saturday Kitcken on the telly recently. Some chef type did a recepie for cooking chicken. I was doing a curry that night for me and Mrs Chox and I decided to adapt the aforesaid recepie. It goes like this..
Get a plastic food bag. Spoon in about four tablespoons of flour, half a tsp of salt, some ground pepper, and about a tablespoon of Tandoori Spice powder. I used Tesco's (and I know that I will get drummed out of the Brownies for using that) but it did the trick.
I then chopped up 4 chicken breasts and chucked them into the bag with the rest, tied a knot and tossed it around for a few minutes. I then put the bag in the fridge until I made my sauce. The sauce is not the subject here, so use your own if you try this.
OK, that done, I have a large electric frying pan from 1960!! I poured in enough chinese oil (with garlic and ginger) to cover the bottom and turned up the heat. Once very hot I took the chicken out of the bag and placed it in the pan - instant araoma!! Resisting the temptation to prod or move around, I let the meat fry for about three mins and turned over. Another min and it was ready to serve.
Again, sorry if this is not new, but to me I got a different way of producing an interesting curry dish that approimates to tandoori chicken in the absense of a tandoor.
Bon appetite.
