The Emirate of Dubai is the second-largest city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With a large population of over 3.5 million inhabitants. Dubai is a city that is constantly competing with itself to build and do better in the future. The cityscape of Dubai is ever-changing and transient. First, there was Palm Island, then Dubai thought of the World Islands. The construction of the Burj Khalifa eclipsed Burj Al Arab. Dubai tries to magnetize tourists to a dream-like world of attractions. One of the reasons for Dubai's rapid growth is its multicultural diversity. The cultural diversity of this city makes it an attractive place for professionals from all over the world. It is estimated that only 15% to 20% of its population can be categorized as locals. The restaurants, cafes, and eateries in Dubai are the best way to experience the diversity in this city. The kaleidoscope of perspectives, languages, and cuisines makes this city an extraordinary place for travelers to come and deepen their understanding of the world.

Ayam Goreng Kremes

Ayam Goreng Kremes is Indonesian Fried Chicken. Kremes means "crunchy" in the Indonesian language. But unlike regular fried chicken, this Indonesian version is first boiled with aromatics and spices and then deep fried. The crunchy element in this dish is not the chicken skin, but the crunchy spiced batter served with it. Try your hand at preparing this succulent fried chicken with our recipe, and you will never cook fried chicken any other way.

Cooking directions

Ingredients

900gms chicken legs/thighs
2 onion
5 cloves of garlic
70gm turmeric
60gm palm sugar
50gm galangal
1 bay leaf
50gm coriander powder
40gm cumin powder
120gm all-purpose flour
70gm grain flour
15gm baking powder
40gm paprika powder

Step 1. In a large pot, sauté the onions, garlic, galangal, cumin, coriander, and palm sugar. When these ingredients release their natural oil, add the chicken legs, sauté for 3 minutes, and add water. Finally, add the bay leaf, turmeric, and salt to the pot and boil the chicken till it is tender.

Step 2. Strain the chicken from the cooking liquid and keep it aside. Add the gram flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder to the cooking liquid. Whisk it well to make a smooth batter. Add some salt and paprika powder to the mix.

Step 3. Heat a large frying pot with oil to 370 Fahrenheit. Coat the cooked chicken legs in the batter and deep fry them in the oil until golden brown. Next, keep them on a cooling rack to drain the excess oil.

Step 4. Finally, fry the batter in thin streams to prepare the crunchy flakes and serve the chicken with them.

Tip. Serve lemon wedges and sambal with the Ayam Goreng Kremes.

Dubai is governed by Islamic laws like any other city in UAE, but multiple cultures are living together in Dubai. Despite being an Islamic city, Dubai has many churches, temples, gurudwaras, and other religious institutes. Multiculturalism in Dubai is an example to the world that growth is truly possible only when people from around the world work together. You could have any passport and still feel at home in Dubai.
