Do you ever have problem deciding what to cook for lunch or dinner? I always do. This is what I normally do. I will see what meat I want to cook for that day. Then from there I will check what I have in the vegetable compartment. Then from there I will come up with something. This dish was one of them. I just take a few ingredients, blend it, marinate it and cook it and voila!! A delicious dish for our dinner for that day.Ingredients:
Half chicken – cut into bite size piece
Salt and sugar to taste
Blended ingredients:
1” fresh ginger
3 shallots
5 cloves garlic
2 red chilies
2 pieces fresh turmeric or 1 tbsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp of curry powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1. Put all the blended ingredients in a blender and blend it into a fine paste. Put it into the cut chicken and marinate it for at least an hour.2. Heat up about 4 tbsp of oil in a wok over medium heat, put in the chicken, spread it out in the wok and then cover it. Turn and stir the chicken occasionally so that it didn’t burn. Add in some salt and sugar to taste.
3. Once the chicken is cooked dish it out and serves with some warm rice.
Note: I didn’t add any water to this dish. It turns out pretty much like dry chicken rendang minus the coconut milk and kerisik.
Hi Gert,
ReplyDeleteThis is EXACTLY what I need...thanks for helping me decide what's for dinner!
the chicken looks yummy.
ReplyDeleteSounds good I might just wanna try this but I wanna use whole chicken drumsticks. I think I might just simmer in coconut milk until it's cooked and dry. Thanks for the idea Gert!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the curry and coriander flavor in this chicken...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I do too when it's almost the end of the week and the fridge is almost empty, or when I'm lazy to go out and get extra ingredients. I just run through the pantry and do simple stir fry..
ReplyDeleteYours actually reminds me of the nasi lemak stalls' fried chicken :)
Your chicken will be fabulous with some pilaf.
ReplyDeleteDelicious chicken curry minus the cholesterol from coconut milk...what's not to like? Another fabulous chicken dish for dinner...good one!
