Curry chicken, a very common dish in Malaysia. In Malaysia, every where you go, coffee house, night market, street food, restaurant, you will see curry chicken, weather it's Indian, Malay or Chinese, we hardly go without curry. As you see my curry chicken has no potatoes in it because none of my family members like it. And since potatoes are mostly starch, I prefer not to buy it as well. My lazy way of preparing curry these days is to use the drumsticks. I hate to chop chicken into smaller pieces, drumstick is cheaper than breast meat and I don't have to cut it. So, why not? A delicious curry chicken is super easy to cook with a premix.
Ingredients:
8 chicken drumsticks
1 ChanHong instant rendang mix. (available at mytasteofasia.com)
1 packet of dried coconut powder (available at mytasteofasia.com)
Cooking oil
Method:
In a big pot, add in oil. Turn to medium heat, when heated, stir-fry the rendang mix until fragrant, add in drumsticks. Stir to coat well and add in the coconut milk. How diluted the coconut milk is depended on you. More coconut milk used like me, you will end out with a curry chicken (we love the gravy for rice), less coconut milk used, you will have your rendang (dried chicken curry). Simmer for 2 hours.
Wow that curry looks so yummy.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can soak up all that sauce with the rice .
I would love to eat them with rice or rotis
艾哟，怎么你所说的每一句话都熟口熟脸！！原来我们的老公和小孩都一样，偏不爱马玲薯！！所以，我的咖喱鸡从来也不加马玲薯的，哈哈！但其实我本身是蛮爱的。你说得对，像我们这种讲求“效率”的家庭主妇，最讨厌剁鸡肉的了。。。好恶心！把整只鸡腿丢下去就搞定咯！嘻！
ReplyDelete在美国很奇怪，人们偏爱鸡胸肉，这恰恰和大马人相反。。买KFC都争着要炸鸡腿，最不爱炸鸡胸肉，硬绷绷的。来了美国，反而学会了欣赏鸡胸肉的质感和细腻！
再接再励哦！我今天会炸台式咸酥鸡，要recipe就email我吧！
