Ingredients
8 large chicken drumlets
1 tbsp ginger-garlic mix
½ tsp salt
a dash of turmeric
1 cup plain flour
½ cup Cajun seasoning
2 large eggs
1 tbsp canola oil for drizzle
Cajun seasoning:
2 tbsp coriander powder
2 tbsp cumin powder
2 tbsp paprika ( or cayenne pepper)
2 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp coarse salt
1 tsp nutmeg powder
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
Instructions
Dry roast all the spices and salt for few minutes until fragrant. Store in airtight jar up to couple of months.

Steam the chicken for 15 minutes, until almost tender.
Mix the flour and cajun seasoning in a bowl.
Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.
Dip the chicken onto the flour mix then dip into the egg.
Dip them again onto the flour then egg, and probably another repeat until thick coating is achieved.
