I esteem this selection of cooking rooster for every its fashion and its ease. The rooster is cut into pieces and rubbed with salt and lemon juice, roughly a rapid marinade, earlier than being shallow-fried till golden. But there’s no difficulty about whether or no longer the frying cooks the rooster fully, on myth of it then simmers in water with a limited bit onion, turmeric, and cumin till subtle and cooked thru.

Directions

Location the rooster pieces in a huge bowl, add the lemon juice, and turn the rooster to bellow all surfaces to the juice. Add the salt and rub it onto the rooster pieces. Within the event you might presumably well need time, refrigerate, lined, for an hour or two to marinate.
-
About an hour earlier than you could wait on the rooster, space a extensive heavy skillet over medium warmth. Add oil to a depth of 1⁄4 plod. As soon as the oil is sizzling, rob the rooster pieces out of the marinade (reserve the marinade) and fastidiously plug them into the oil. (In case your pan is too tiny to withhold the rooster conveniently, use two pans or cook in batches, including a limited bit extra oil if principal.) Fry, turning the pieces every so continuously, till the rooster is well touched with gold, about quarter-hour.
-
Take dangle of the rooster pieces out of the oil and switch to a huge pot. Add the onions, the reserved marinade, and water to barely conceal. Ship to a boil and toss in the turmeric and cumin, then decrease the warmth and simmer gently for forty five minutes or so, till the rooster is cooked thru. (Within the event you fashion the broth early in the cooking, you might presumably well salvage the cumin too solid, but as soon because it has done simmering, the flavors come together.) Style for seasoning and alter if principal.
