FAB FAB FAB Malaysian chicken curry ......for expatkat

As promised expatkat!

Firstly make the curry paste by blending all this:
2 chopped red onions
4 fresh red chilli (seeded if you are scared like me!
4 cloves of garlic
2 stems of lemon grass (white bit only)
knob of ginger sliced
1 teaspoon of tumeric

Heat wok with some oil and swirl it round to coat the sides then add the curry paste and cook it for 10 minutes or so (smells divine!). Add about 750g of chicken meat to the wok - I've used breast and thigh before. Stirfry for 2 or 3 minutes.

Add 400ml of coconut milk, 3 tablespoons of tamarind puree and 1 table spoon of fish sauce and simnmer for 15 - 20 minutes.

Serve with rice and steamed bok choy - never fails to impress!!! I've got to remember who I've served it too as its such an old favourite!!!

Enjoy!! Now I just need to choose one of those fab desserts to go with it ....! xxx

Just resurrecting this thread again!

I've meaning to give this a try after all the favourable comments, and got round to cooking it last night for dinner.

Lovely. Thank you SilverLining! It was so yummy, and easy too. I used the little hot bird eye chillies and was a bit scared to use 4, but I did and it was just fine - I think the coconut milk must balance out the hotness iykwim.

Anyway, many thanks

it is deffo brill

Question to SilverLining or anyone who has tried this recipe:

Should the chicken be cooked in small bite-sized pieces, or just as a whole breast or thigh?

I tried to make this recipe in London several months ago. I made up the curry paste, but then, when I removed the chicken from its packaging, it smelled rancid, and I never got around to buying more chicken. I'm going to try it to tonight, many months later. Wish me luck!

turquoise · 25/03/2005 14:13

I did it in bite size pieces which seemed to work fine. {smile]Enjoy!

RTKangaMummy · 25/03/2005 14:57

Kanga - do you want to come for tea at mine?? I've never had such good response to my food before!!! I could do with you for an ego boost everynight - shame that this wretched morning sickness is going on and on and on and I can only just manage marmite on toast!!! Not quite so impressive now am I??

Think this baby is going to come out looking like a piece of toast ....!!

Thanks SL

I am sure your baby will be lovely whether it looks like toast and marmite or chicken curry

I could come round for tea and babysit once your baby is born, and you are back to reg food.

fairyfly · 14/04/2005 12:02

Having my man round for dinner tonight, is it really lovely, honest?

bunny2 · 14/04/2005 12:32

ff, I cooked it for Jodee and Mr Jodee last week and it was really really nice!!! In fact I cant wait to make it again.

fairyfly · 14/04/2005 12:36

Thanks, off to buy the stuff

bunny2 · 14/04/2005 13:03

enjoy it (and him )

fairyfly · 14/04/2005 13:13

I have everything but the coconut milk (they had runout)It is a vital ingredient too i imagine

fairyfly · 14/04/2005 14:31

I haven't got a blender so i grated the onion and all the juice squirted into my eyes. Then i cooked it ( you are right it does smell wonderful) so i tried a spoonfull and choked at how hot it is.
I feel exhausted.

jodee · 14/04/2005 14:53

I can confirm, it was completely delicious!

bakedpotato · 14/04/2005 21:34

Well, DH is washing up the wok right now. Nice one, SilverLining. Gorgeous.

RTKangaMummy · 14/04/2005 21:38

SilverLining · 15/04/2005 16:58

Can't be that good for you sadly but I have bumped it up with lots of veggies before and used half fat coconut milk (positively detox food then?>?!)
Kanga - you are just continuing to boost my ego - my DH wants words with you as I bask in the glory and tell me he doesn't appreciate me!!
