#38 Chicken Curry

No pictures for this one, coz I cooked it for my boyfriend's family at his place, didn't have the time to take any pictures and I had to leave. Nevertheless, this is a very simple dish! And an all time favourite! Shall we begin?

Edit: I got a picture but it was 79 weeks ago. It's the same thing! Lol my #9 recipe actually. Guess this is a repeated recipe. The picture illustration is clearer in that post, go ahead and check it out yea! :)

Ingredients:
4 medium sized onions, cut into quarters
3 cloves of garlic
About 3cm ginger
3 pieces of dried tamarind (a.k.a asam keping)
7 tablespoons of beef curry powder
1 box of coconut milk
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
8 chicken wings
1 tablespoon tumeric powder
1 stick of cinnamon
2 pieces of star anise
4 cloves
2 cardamon seeds
Oil
Water
Salt
Sugar

Instructions:

Ingredients may sound overwhelming, but it's pretty simple actually. So first step, blend your ginger, onions and garlics into a paste. Mix this paste with the curry powder, and put aside.

Next, marinate the chicken with tumeric and a pinch of salt after washing them. I prefer to cut my wings from the upper joint section so it looks like I have more chicken. After this, deep fry the chicken to make sure that it'll be properly cook later on. About 5 mins would be enough coz we don't wanna overcook them. With the same oil, fry the potatoes for about 3 minutes.

In a pot, use the same oil used for frying just now, about 5 tablespoons of oil, add in the 4 spices, cinnamon, cardamom, star anise and cloves. Afterwards, add in the blended ingredients. Stir them up until you see the paste starts to bubble and the oil surfaces. Add in your coconut milk. Using the coconut milk box, add in water twice. So 2 boxes of water. Stir them up. It's very important to stir so the coconut milk won't separate and your food will look like vomit. Lol.

Add in the dried tamarind that you have washed. And again, stir. If you think your curry isn't "yellow" enough, then add in 1 more tablespoon of curry powder. Then, add in the chicken and potatoes together. Then add in your salt and sugar to taste. Give it a good stir to make sure the chicken sinks in the gravy, cover the pot with a lid and turn heat down to medium. Let it cook for about 10 minutes. Stir the gravy once in a while and cover it again. Once time is up, turn off the heat. Oh yes you're done! :)

I told you it was easy! Happy trying! :)
