CORN & SOUR CREAM
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a separate bowl, loosen the sour cream with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.
CHIPOTLE SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the chipotle chillies (to taste), the tomato paste, and 100ml of water. Simmer until thickened, 8-10 minutes.
SPICY CHICKEN
Place a clean pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden and cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, season, and add to the chipotle sauce.
CRISPY POPPADOMS
Return the pan, wiped down, to medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over. Keep flipping until golden and puffed up.
FANTASTIC FUSION
Bowl up the spicy chicken. Top with the charred corn, the diced jalapeños, the diced tomato, and the guacamole. Crumble over the crispy poppadoms, garnish with the chopped coriander, and drizzle over the sour cream. Enjoy!
