This turned out really good! I did make several changes to suit my taste and laziness better! I made it with 6 chicken legs instead of 4 frog. I didn't have the fresh spices, so, I used 1 tsp garlic salt, 1 tbsp dried minced onion, and 1 tsp of ground ginger. I also didn't have buttermilk so I used milk with lemon juice in it. The chicken had a wonderful flavor. I added the cornstarch to the leftover stock and put it over rice, but it was a little too salty for my taste, but I did change alot in the recipe and it was probably extra salty due to that! I will be making this one again! Thanks for posting, WaterMelon!

Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question.
I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc.
