MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Tamarind water
      1 tb Clear soya sauce
           A pinch of chilli powder

  The name means simply 'fried chicken', and that is all it is.  The
  marinade, however, gives it a characteristically Indonesian flavour.
  Marinate the pieces of chicken in this mixture for 2 hours, turning
  them from time to time. Strain the chicken, so that the marinade
  drips away from it.  Then deep-fry the portions, 4 or 5 at a time.
  Chicken fried in this way is excellent with Nasi Goreng.  [Nasi
  Goreng is fried rice. S.C.] Makes 4 servings.
