Everything Middle-Eastern Seasoned Fried Alligator

• 1 pound boneless alligator meat (or chicken is fine)
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 2 teaspoons coriander seeds
• 2 teaspoons baharat
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 cup flour
• 2 cups frying oil (any neutral seed oil)
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons vinegar (I used champagne vinegar)

1. Crush cumin and coriander seeds with mortar and pestle, then mix with the baharat (if you don't have baharat, double the cumin + coriander and add a bit of cinnamon) and salt.
2. Cut the meat into bite-size/1.5 inches long pieces and marinade with the spices, chopped up garlic, vinegar, and milk for as long as you like. 15 minutes was enough for me, however.
3. Start dredging the pieces in flour (no need to dry off the milk). Fill a small pot or a frying pan with the oil, heat up till 300-400 F and fry. The meat should be cooked in 5 minutes, assuming your pieces are bite-sized.
