Step by step

Method

  1. 1

    Make the crispy sambal chicken: heat the oil in a wok and saute the blended ingredients until fully cooked and the oil separates.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded boiled chicken along with the tamarind juice, brown sugar and salt to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook, tossing constantly, until everything is well combined and all the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is dry. Set aside to cool.

  4. 4

    Melt a little Anchor Butter Salted in a non-stick pan, add a capati and toast until slightly crisp.

  5. 5

    Spoon a tablespoon of the sambal chicken onto the capati, add Fernleaf Greek Style Yogurt on top, then sprinkle with Perfect Italiano Mozzarella and chopped spring onion. Fold over like a taco and serve immediately.
