Saed News:Kebab Ta'tali (or Tatali) is one of the very delicious local dishes of Arak, which is very similar to the pan-cooked kebab. In the local Araki dialect, the word for pan is Tal.
According to the Family Magazine Service of Saed News,
In the section for preparing various chicken dishes, we are here with another delicious recipe. Polaki Fried Chicken is a tasty and elegant dish with a memorable and delightful flavor. In this frying method, you will see how to cook fillets this beautifully without using breading powder.
Chicken fillets: as needed
Salt, pepper, paprika powder: as needed
Chopped garlic: as needed
White wheat flour (grade three zero, to keep softness after frying): as needed
Ginger powder: as needed
Garlic powder: as needed
Chicken broth powder: as needed
60 minutes
30 minutes
90 minutes
First, marinate the chicken fillets with salt, pepper, paprika powder, and garlic, and let them rest for at least three hours, up to overnight.
Then, put the white wheat flour (grade three zero) into a bowl and season it with ginger powder, garlic powder, and chicken broth powder.
Using tongs (I emphasize, do NOT use your hands as it will become doughy and the chicken won’t get that flaky texture), take the fillets out of the marinade and coat them completely with the flour mixture.
Then dip them into water, and repeat the process again — coat with flour using the tongs, then dip in water, and coat fully with flour once more.
Now, with a circular motion, roll the chicken between your hands. You will see the flour separate from the water and the fillets get a flaky texture.
You must fry the fillets immediately. If you prepare them first and fry later, they will become tough.
