Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and cut into bite-sized pieces. Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the chicken pieces and fry until golden, 2-3 minutes (shifting as it colours). Remove from the pot and set aside.

MY KINGDOM FOR A POPPADOM
Return the pan to medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, 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 and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up. Alternatively, heat the poppadoms in the microwave until crispy, 20-30 seconds.
