Drums Of Heaven

        "Drums of Heaven" is a popular Indo-Chinese dish that is known for its delicious flavors and crispy texture. It is a deep-fried chicken appetizer that is typically prepared with boneless chicken, marinated in a mixture of spices and sauces, and then coated with a batter before frying.

The exact recipe may vary depending on personal preferences and regional variations, but here's a general idea of how "Drums of Heaven" are prepared:

Ingredients:

• Boneless chicken (cut into drumstick-shaped pieces)
• Ginger-garlic paste
• Soy sauce
• Tomato ketchup
• Chili sauce
• Vinegar
• Cornstarch
• All-purpose flour
• Salt
• Pepper
• Egg
• Oil (for frying)
  

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, combine the boneless chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, chili sauce, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the chicken is coated evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or longer for more flavor).

2. In a separate bowl, prepare the batter by mixing cornstarch, all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and a beaten egg. Adjust the consistency of the batter by adding water if necessary. The batter should be thick enough to coat the chicken.

3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to medium-high heat.

4. Take each marinated chicken piece and dip it into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Shake off any excess batter.

5. Carefully drop the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy. This usually takes about 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Make sure to fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and to maintain the oil temperature.

6. Once the chicken pieces are cooked, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or tongs, and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off excess oil.

7. Serve the "Drums of Heaven" hot, garnished with chopped spring onions or coriander leaves. You can also accompany them with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet chili sauce or a tangy garlic sauce.

"Drums of Heaven" are often enjoyed as an appetizer or a side dish in Indo-Chinese cuisine. They are loved for their crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful chicken on the inside.
