Curry chicken

Thanks to the post in FB few days back by Malaysia Kitchen, I decided to cook curry chicken... hehehe... my own version. I used deboned drumstick (bone reserved for my little sweetheart's chicken soup).

This is before the sauce reduced to the thickness I want

Ingredients:
  • 3 pieces of drumstick without the bones
  • 2 potatoes, cut to small cube
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 4 cloves of garlic, chopped small
  • 1 teaspoon of the sambal
  • 1.5 tablespoon of oil
  • 1 tablespoon of curry powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon of dried cumin powder
  • 1 star anise
  • 1 small piece of cinnamon stick
  • 2 pieces of cloves
  • a small pinch of fennel seed
  • 1.5 cups of water
  • 1/4 cup of santan  (coconut) powder
  • a small pinch of salt
  • a dash of pepper
Methods:
  1. Saute the onion with oil till soft and add in the garlic.
  2. After stirring bout 1mins, add in the herbs (dried cumin powder, curry powder, start anise, cinnamon stick, cloves and fennel seed and stir till it is even.
  3. Stir in the potato and chicken. Make sure the chicken is lightly fried and coated with the mixture.
  4. Add in water, sprinkle the santan powder on top and stir till it dissolved.
  5. Leave it to simmer for bout 30-40mins or till the potatoes are soft and tender.
  6. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. I added a little sliced chillies and parsley :D
