Directions
-
Curry pieces:
-
cut off both legs and thighs together taking as much meat as possible from the carcass at the top of the thigh, separate legs and thighs.
-
Cut down along breast as far as wing at side of breast bone to expose ribs,
-
cut through ribs at top along length of breast bone,
-
cut through ribs at bottom of breast as far as wing,
-
cut wing at joint with body and
-
remove breast and wing as one piece,
-
cut into two approximately one third along breast from wing.
-
Grind the first 7 ingredients (i.e.
-
up to and including the turmeric) together into a smooth paste (food processor/pestle and mortar etc).
-
Heat oil in wide frying pan or wok and
-
add paste,
-
stir -
-
fry until moisture has evaporated and paste has started to brown.
-
Add chicken pieces and stir well, scrape bottom of pan to prevent sticking.
-
Cover tightly and
-
simmer for 35-45 minutes - there should be enough liquid given off from the chicken during cooking but check now and then and
-
stir .
-
If chicken does get too dry and starts sticking/burning (and it's never happened to me)
-
add a tablespoon or so of water and
-
stir in, scraping residue off bottom of pan.
-
Shortly before chicken is ready slit open cardamom pods and extract seeds, crush seeds in pestle and mortar and
-
add to chicken with coriander leaf,
-
stir and
-
simmer for a further minute or so, taste and adjust seasoning.
-
Serve with plain rice or coconut rice.
-
Drink beer: Singha, Bintang or Tiger beers are excellent, Pilsner Urquell is good too.
-
Ken Hom has a similar recipe but he omits the Nam Pla and adds 1 tbs.
-
dry sherry and two tbs.
-
soy sauce just before the simmering which makes it much more like a Straits Chinese or Nonna dish
