Simple Recipe – Curry Chicken without Coconut Milk (Santan)

I normally cook curry chicken without coconut milk and here is the recipe.

Ingredients

½ Chicken, cut into small pieces
½ a bowl of curry powder (Allagapa or Adabi)
Salt to taste
½ a bowl of water
1 tablespoon of butter
3 pcs of star anise (Bunga Lawang)
6 pieces of cloves (Bunga Cengkih)
2 pcs of cinnamon (kayu manis)
5 table spoons of oil
2 large potatoes skinned and cut into eight pieces each.

Deep fried until golden brown and soft 2 stalks of curry leaves (optional)

Blend this 8 shallots, 2 stalks of serai (lemongrass)

Heat up wok and put oil. Sautéed blended ingredients, curry leaves, star anise, cloves and cinnamon under slow fire. Mix the dry curry powder with some water and put in to the wok. Sautéed till fragrant. Add in the chicken and stir slowly. If the mixture is too dry add a little bit of water. Add in the potato and stir until the chicken is cooked. Put in the butter and salt to taste. Add a little bit of water but the curry should not be too watery. Bring to a boil and serve. Eat with steamed rice or bread.
