#michiekitchen - HOMEMADE MALAYSIAN CHICKEN CURRY

WHAT TO COOK TODAY?
Homemade Malaysian Chicken Curry



Chicken Curry, a common delicacy in South Asia and Southeast Asia - where it is usually referred to as "Curry Chicken". There are many types of chicken curry and in Malaysia, it is usually cooked in coconut milk and paired with potatoes. 

Let's cook my version of Chicken Curry today!

INGREDIENTS: (Serves 6)

1/2 Chicken, cut into serving size pieces
4 pcs Green Chilies, remove the seeds
2 pcs Tomatoes, cut into small pieces
3 pcs Potatoes, remove the skin and cut into small pieces
A handful Curry Leaves 
3 stalks Lemon Grass
Fresh Coconut milk 
Blended red chilies paste
Cooking oil
Salt 
Sugar 
Water 

FOR CURRY PASTE (To blend into paste)

6 pcs Shallots
6 pcs Garlic 
1 inch Fresh Ginger 
1 pc Large Red Onion 
6 pcs Candlenuts / Buah Keras

SPICES

Chili Flakes 
Cinnamon stick 
Star Anise 
Green Cardamom 
Cumin Seeds
Coriander Seeds
Curry Powder 
Turmeric Powder 


A guide for you, in case you do not know how the spices look like :)




Fresh Coconut milk

Curry & Turmeric powder paste 
(Mix in a little bit of water and mix to form a paste)



HOW TO MAKE:

Firstly, clean the chicken and pat dry. Add in some curry powder and mix well. Set aside for later use.


Put all the curry paste ingredients into the blender and blend well with candlenuts to form a paste. Mix in some water to ease the blending process.



Once all the preparation works are done, heat the pan with some cooking oil. Then, add in the spices (except curry powder & turmeric powder) to cook for a while - this step releases the oil from the spices and makes your curry taste better. 


After cooking for about 1 minute under low heat, add in the blended paste together with lemon grass & curry leaves and stir. 


Keep stirring to avoid burning. When it turns slightly brown, add in the curry powder & turmeric paste and stir again for a minute.


Then, add in the chicken pieces, green chilies, tomatoes and potatoes cubes. Cook for about 5 minutes and then add in water (enough to cover the chicken and potatoes). Let it simmer under low heat for 30 minutes or until potatoes soften. 


Add in the coconut milk and let it boil for a while. 



Then add salt and sugar to taste. Your Chicken Curry is now ready to serve :)

Paired with a bowl of hot rice or you may try dipping the sauce with steamed man tou. It tastes really good! 

Happy Cooking.

#DINEWITHME: THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR | SS15, SUBANG JAYA (KL)

Whooppsss...I just had my dinner!  What am I doing here? Come on, it's Friday! Let's chill a 'lil - Dinner extended. To be frank, I don't have much time to spend around ever since I've joined an award-winning agency few months ago. Life's pretty hectic everyday, with extreme workload and countless days of overtime.  And just because I have relocated myself to another area, my hangout place changes too. What makes the best option would be the one nearest to my office, with less traffic congestion.  Thanks to my bunch of friends whom always put me on a priority, they make the effort to come to a meeting point near me instead.  I was brought to this restaurant the other day by my friends and I found it quite a waste not to share such an interesting place with all of you.  Let me introduce you to -  THE PENTHOUSE RESTAURANT & WINE BAR. Upon walking in, I was amazed by their simple yet welcoming ambiance. I was ushered in by rows of wine displ...

#DINEWITHME: YUK SOU HIN | WEIL HOTEL (IPOH)

Done with my busy schedules, I finally have the time to sit down and blog about my dining experience at YUK SOU HIN @ WEIL HOTEL (IPOH) which took place about two months ago.  I was being invited by the hotel's PR Team at the first place to drop by and review the dim sum which was spearheaded by their   Hong Kong Master Chef, Mr. Chung Ho Shi but unfortunately I'm unable to attend. Later after that, I visited the restaurant with my mum when I dropped by in Ipoh the other day.  It was a busy morning. We went to the restaurant around 11am without any advance reservation, and it took us about 25 minutes to settle down with a table.  The restaurant was packed with customers that day, due to Public Holiday.  Not my first dining experience at Weil Hotel,  YUK SOU HIN  is the final restaurant to wrap up my adventure at this new hotel besides than  THE DECK  and  TIFFIN .  Bored while waiting, I started to explore around and tappin...
