This recipe is something of a culture clash; there’s an Asian touch in the use of sesame seeds with garlic, but finishing it with cream is pure French indulgence.

The allium family in powdered form are useful things to have in your pantry. Add them to a spice rub or to seasoned flour, or use them directly on the skin of your meat or fish to impart their flavour to the flesh right where it matters. For this recipe I used both powdered onion and garlic, while powdered galangal added extra zing.

This recipe is something of a hybrid; there’s an Asian touch in the use of sesame seeds with garlic, though sesame seeds are popular in Greek cuisine and in the Middle East too. Finishing it with cream is pure French indulgence. I dislike the term “fusion” as it can be an excuse for all manner of kitchen atrocities, but I suppose I need to accept that I have gone down that dangerous path just this once.

Parmesan may seem an odd inclusion, but try it in combination with sesame and garlic and I think you’ll find that they work. The Parmesan and the seeds simply become part of the seasoned flour in which you dip the chicken pieces.3 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan
