“Defined by no man, you are your own story, blaz

“Defined by no man, you are your own story, blazing through the world, turning history into herstory. And when they dare to tell you about all the things you cannot be, you smile and tell them... I am both war and woman and you cannot stop me” An ode to fearless women by Nikita Gill

Sunday Lunch Is Ready ✅ Recently, @raising.k.s

Sunday Lunch Is Ready ✅

Recently, @raising.k.squared and @faircapedairies challenged me to Rev up a classic recipe using any Fair Cape Dairies ingredient. I was sent over a few goodies including Amasi, which is something I’ve actually never cooked with before!

I decided to spice things up (literally and figuratively) and upped our usual Sunday lunch fried chicken recipe by using Amasi! This is the recipe I came up with:

Crispy Cumin Amasi Chicken

Ingredients:
3 cups Fair Cape Dairies Amasi
8 pieces of chicken
2 cups of flour
3 tsp of Cumin powder
2 tsp of Paprika
2 tsp of salt
2 tsp of pepper

Lemon quarters for serving
Oil for frying

Method
1. Marinade the chicken in amasi overnight or for 2 hours at least.
2. Once chicken is marinated, heat up a small pot or deep fryer
3. In a bag mix together the flour and spices
4. Place the marinated chicken pieces in the bag and shake around
5. Fry the chicken is small batches and add the fried pieces to low heated oven to stay warm while frying the rest.

Serve immediately, squeeze over some fresh lemon juice and serve with a fresh salad 🥗
Enjoy!
