Chicken Kerutub

Usually I made my own Chicken Kerutub spice mix but since it is Ramadhan I had very limited time for cooking after returning from office. Therefore I had to make do with instant spice mix. Sungkai (means breaking off fasting) in Miri today was 6.30pm and just imagine how rushing it is for me everyday.
