Ingredients:

8 chicken drumsticks, washed and dried
200ml Tandoori Marinade
2 tbsp lemon juice
sea salt, to taste
4 large eggs
3 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
breadcrumbs to coat
oil for deep frying

Method:

Prick the drumsticks all over with a fork then place in a pan of salted water and cook for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

In the meantime, beat together the tandoori marinade, lemon juice and salt together. Place the chicken drumsticks in this and smear to coat evenly. Cove and set aside for 60 minutes to marinade.

Beat together the eggs and cornflour until smooth and place in a shallow dish. Scatter the breadcrumbs on a plate. Remove the chicken from the marinade then coat in the egg and cornflour mix before covering evenly with the breadcrumbs.

Place the breaded and marinated chicken in a deep fryer pre-heated to 180°C (or use a wok or deep pan). Fry until the drumsticks are golden brown all over, drain on kitchen paper and serve accompanied by Indian chutneys and garnishes.
