  • 1 kilo boneless chicken
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • grated fresh ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed
  • a pinch of white pepper
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • a pinch of oregano or wild thyme
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper paste
  • 1 tablespoon chicken seasoning
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup fine semolina (farikha)

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Wash the chicken well and cut into strips about 2 cm thick lengthwise; rub with lemon and set aside.

  3. Place the chicken pieces in the marinade for at least two hours.
