This is an all time local favourite dish among adults and kids and it is the reminiscent of butter prawns, minus the egg yolk. It incorporates something everyone is very familiar with – Nestum Cereal! This cereal is really very tasty due to its crispiness and slightly sweet taste.  The curry leaves lend an Indian influence and extra hint of flavour to this ever popular Malaysian Homestyle Crispy Butter Cereal Chicken.     To cook crispy butter cereal chicken:

First cut chicken fillets into bite size. Then prepare light soy sauce and turmeric powder to marinade the chicken.

   

To marinade the chicken, add light soy sauce to the bite size chicken in a bowl.

   

Then add turmeric powder.

   

Lastly add cornstarch.

   

Mix everything together. Set aside for at least 30 minutes.

   

Then heat up some oil in a wok or non stick pan.

   

Deep fry the marinated chicken till cooked through or until golden brown.

   

Drain the chicken on paper towel and set aside.

When the leaves are crisped, add the nestum cereal.

   

And the sugar.

   

Then add salt to taste. Stir fry on medium heat until the nestum cereal is golden brown and crispy.

   

Add the fried chicken to this and toss well till the chicken is coated with a crisp layer of cereal, about 2 minutes.

   

Arrange the nestum chicken on a serving plate and top additional crispy cereal over it.

   

Garnish with green onions and red chillies. Serve the butter cereal chicken warm with steamed rice.

   

Incorporating chicken, cereal, curry leaves and butter certainly makes for a great tasty dish.
