I like curry.
I like fried chicken.
I also like healthy food.

Why not have all of the above?
Quick recipe card here.

Using cornflakes, bran flakes or otherwise crispy cereal instead of breadcrumbs came as a real revelation to me. I tried baking breadcrumbed meat previously but it never quite turns out right – THIS HOWEVER! It is crispy, healthy, easy and cheap to make and tastes really good. The corn flavour arguably adds another dimension to the dish as well.
