Chicken in Stir Fried Tomato (Ayam Tumis Tomato)

Just during the recent Monday, I was still recovering from blocked nose and cough.  I didn't have much appetite but being me, I still wanna eat!  Don't think I'm greedy okay.  I am not.  I just love food a tiny bit more than I love to eat! ;)  No, that's not the same as greedy. 

 

So I cooked when I got back from work.  Something soury and spicy would definitely jerk my taste bud!  I had already asked my kitchen-ing assistant to fry some chicken wings before I got home.  So the wings were happily waiting for me to do some magic using my mother's recipe. 

This would be a dish fit for any time.  When you are lazy or unwell especially and you have to cook something, this dish would be perfect.  Even though it is a very simple dish, it is heavenly and would satisfy your taste buds, trust me!   Sourish and spicy.  A taste just right for anybody, sick or not sick. 

I wasn't in the mood to take elaborated photos and I am not a professional photographer.  All this while, I have been presenting you the food pictures in the best way I know how to snap them.  They are just presented in a "whatever" way or "I am in the mood" way but I hope it still looks good for you!

Let's get to the ingredients:-

2 large onions - finely sliced

2 garlics - finely sliced or chopped

5 red chillies - blended (if you like it more spicy you can add more or mix with some birds eye)

1 packet of chicken wings or any other parts of your choice - marinated with 2 tablespoon of turmeric powder and salt to taste and fried till cooked and set aside

2-3 pieces tamarind peels (depending on how sour you like it, but the more sourish it is, the better the taste)

5 tomatoes - chopped

1 small bowl of water

1 teaspoon sugar

salt to taste

Method:



1.  Heat oil in pan and add in the blended chillies.

2.  Saute for five minutes.

11.  Fold in the chicken pieces into the stir fried mix.
