CHICKEN WITH TAMARIND SAUCE

Yeaaaa.....this is the result when you don't know what you want to cook. This is my other experiment. For some reason, I was lacked of idea what I want to do with my chicken. I tried to browse some recipes but nothing catch my eyes. Hmmmm.....then, when I played restaurant city in FB (so this is the reason why sometimes I dissapeared and didn't update my blog), I was thinking ...... mmmm chicken and tamarind might be tasty, and I remember those thai foods that using tamarind as their "main" ingredient.

Then, I looked into my kitchen drawer to check all the ingredients needed to make my "experiment" dinner. Yup......I have all the ingredients.....First, marinate the chicken for a while, fried peanuts, then prepared other ingredients........wallaaaaaaa.....here it is chicken with tamarind sauce....The taste turns sooooooo good!! Little bit sour and sweetness plus the crunchy-ness from the chopped peanuts.........really yummy!! My hubby liked it so much and he was surprised when I told him that this is only my experiment....(haaa...you should thank my mom hun cos she taught me well how to cook).

One plate of chicken with tamarind sauce is no longer there, with warm rice we ate it til the last piece of chicken...do you wanna join us?
