CHICKEN DING-DING

(An old Anglo-Indian Sun-dried, Savoury Crispy dish, usually made with meat and which originated when game was plentiful and the meat was dried in the sun and preserved for a rainy day. It was a Back Up Dish for those days when fresh meat was not available. A delightful starter at Parties and Dinners or as an ideal accompaniment to Pepper Water and Rice or Doll Curry and Rice. Now given a twist with fillets of chicken breast and without drying in the sun. The cornflour helps in giving the crispy effect)
