I would normally cook the usual curry chicken most of the time, but last week, I decided to try out something different. It has been quite some time ago since I last cooked this dish. Luckilly I can still remember the recipe!
My kids love this sourish Nyonya Style Chicken with Turmeric. Actually I also love sourish food! "Like father like kids!" LOL!
Ingredients
Chicken, 1/2 bird, cut into small pieces
Turmeric, 2 teaspoons
Chilli paste, 2 teaspoons
Tamarind paste, 1 tablespoon, soak in water to extract the juice
Galangal 1/2", Serai (lemongrass) x2, shallots x3, blended
Potato, 2 pcs, cut into four
Cardamon (buah pelaga), 5 pcs
Kaffir lime leaves (daun limau purut), 5 pcs, cut into strips
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Heat up wok and put in around 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Saute galangal, serai and shallot mixture until fragrant. Add turmeric, cardamon, kaffir lime leaves and chilly paste. Fry for a short while. Add a little water and put in the potato. Bring to a boil until the potato turned soft. Add in the chicken and fry until the meat is cooked. Add tamarind juice, salt and a little sugar to taste. Serve with steamed rice!
