CURRY CHICKEN WITH CURRY POWDER

 

Being a Malaysian, we cook curry chicken very often. One of the best meals we had while growing up as a kid. In those days if we are lucky enough, we will have Curry Chicken to eat for the festive season. Only one dish is enough to satisfy our hunger for the day. Our siblings will fight to get more whenever there is meat on the table. Curry Chicken is one of our favorite dishes. 

Since young, my mother has taught me to cook Curry Chicken. Back then, she bought curry paste from an Indian seller. The ready-pounded paste was wrapped in a leaf. I don't know what that leaf is called, but I remember the leaf is quite dry. Back then, we like to add coconut milk or santan to our curry. Now, I don't always use coconut milk for my Curry. Sometimes I just skip the coconut milk or santan when I cook Curry Chicken. Without the coconut milk, the curry will still be nice. Msg has now been replaced with sugar for health concerns because msg is bad for the health. Sometimes I do not put sugar. and that's okay!

I like my Curry to be not too thick and not too runny. Not the soupy type.

Curry Chicken with Curry Powder

 

We tend to cook Curry Chicken too often in our home. My family all likes Curry. Who doesn't like it?

Ask all Malaysians and they will answer you liked. Each household will cook a different flavor.

For me, I like to cook the drier version and sometimes I like to cook the soupy curry version too.

Curry is often served together with rice.  Curry lovers will eat more rice to pair with the curry.

So, each time when I cook curry chicken, I will cook more extra rice that day. Usually, when I cook curry chicken, only one dish is enough for the day. No other dish. Curry is best served with rice alone.

My children don't mind if I don't cook another dish,  be it vegetables or any meat. Curry and rice are already the best meal.

My cooking of curry is always simple. I normally used curry powder and mixed it with a little bit of chili powder. I liked my potatoes to be deep-fried first then add it to the curry later. You can always by all means throw the potatoes into the chicken to cook together till soft. Either way, it's still a nice curry.

INGREDIENTS:

780 g chicken, cut small

1 big onion, sliced

2 serai/lemongrass, cut white parts only

4 red onions

6 pips garlic

1-inch ginger

2 stalks of curry leaves

4 tbsp full curry powder

1 tbsp chilly powder

1 cinnamon stick

2-star anise

3 big potatoes

cooking oil

700 ml water

METHOD:

Using a peeler, peel the skin of the potatoes and cut them into 4.

Peel the skin of a big onion. Slice thinly. Put aside.

Peel the skin of red onions. Cut roughly. Crush garlic. Cut roughly.

Crush the serai with the back of a big knife. Cut and use the white parts only.

Peel the skin of ginger. Slice thinly.

Blend garlic, red onions, and ginger with a blender until fine. 

In a small-medium bowl, add curry powder, chilly powder, and 6-8 tablespoons of water. Mix to a smooth paste. Set aside.

In a wok, pour enough cooking oil for deep frying the potatoes. As soon as the smoke comes out, fry

the potatoes. Fry until half soft or brown in color. Dish it up. Take some oil out of the wok leaving some for frying the paste.

Fry the big onion slices, cinnamon stick, and star anise until very fragrant. Then add in the blended onions and ginger and garlic. Fry until brown and fragrant. Add in the curry paste. Add in some water Stir and fry until oil comes out. Then add in the chicken. Stir and mix. Add water. Stir. Add in salt.

You can also add 1 teaspoon of sugar to make the curry tastier.

Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Add some more water if the water is too dry. After 10 minutes add in the potatoes. Stir. There is no need to cover anymore. 

Cook until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are soft. If you prefer a thicker sauce, cook a bit longer until the sauce starts to thicken.  I like my curry to be a bit thicker.

Dish up onto a big bowl and serve together with rice.

HONEY SESAME CHICKEN

 MY SUPER YUMMYLICIOUS HONEY SESAME CHICKEN FOR DINNER.

Now my tummy is rolling with hunger by looking at this home-cooked honey sesame chicken that I cooked the last few days. Once in a while, I will cook something that we have eaten at the restaurant selling Chinese food. Honestly speaking, I don't like sticky food, but this one is an exception. The chicken is deep-fry until it is crispy, then is covered with sauce. That's why I say this is an exception.

I liked it because the chicken is crispy. I can just  eat  the chicken without the sauce, but I'm making 

honey sesame chicken, so the sauce must go with it. There are some who add in vinegar, but I wouldn't do that cos if I add in vinegar, my dish will be called "Sweet and Sour Chicken", and not "Honey Sesame Chicken". Some do not add in any soy sauce, but I like to add in some for better flavor.

 The chicken chunks are deep-fry to a golden brown. You can just eat this golden chicken without the sauce just like you eat nuggets. My kids thought that I was making nuggets. It really tastes and look 

like nuggets a bit.

A lot of people all over the world have already made this dish, so there's not much for me to talk about it.

CHICKEN ROLLS

   

I love rolling meat with seaweed and beancurd skin. This meatroll is almost like Ngo Hiang,also meat roll,but mostly consist of pork meat. For this recipe,I used chicken meat. Other than chicken meat,you can also use prawn,sotong,pork or beef. It is then flavoured to make it tasty. Ngo Hiang is wrapped without beancurd sheet,but I like to double the skin with nori sheet. I think that it tasted more nicer with the nori sheet. I did made 2  rolls without nori sheet, the rolls are steamed for 10 minutes and then deep-fried in hot oil till cooked. If you make  thinner rolls, there is no need to do the steaming, but straight 

bring it to deep-fry in medium heat. The reason I steamed it first is because my rolls are thick,and I'm afraid if I straight deep-fry, the meat will be burned before it is cooked,so I steamed first so that it can be cooked much faster. This chicken meat rolls are special hit at my home.

PORK TROTTERS

      

When we were young we don't get to eat pig trotters or also known as pig's leg.They were considered expensive.

When we all grew out and working,we went outside to the cafe to eat.What I hate most is they put parts of the pig's

weird things and so this puts me off  wanting to eat pig's leg.

When I met my hubby,I ate the most delicious pig's

trotters cooked by my mother in law.From then onwards,I like to eat pig trotters because home-cooked one can 

leave out the body parts away.

When I had family of my own,I learned to cook this for my children'.I'm not saying I like pig trotter a lot,but 

once in a while I will cook especially on special occasions like chinese new year or birthdays.I don't cook pork 

that often.Most of the time,I coooked chicken.

This dish is specially prepared on the eve of the Chinese New year and during Chap Goh Mei. I simply estimate the 

ingredients.If I taste it less salty or sweet,I will add more to it.This,I gathered all the recipes from the internet and 

adjust to myself by looking at all the others' recipes.For all I know,my hubby does not like it too sweet,so less sweet for us.I normally put the leftover in the slow cooker and eat it the next day.This will make the meat more tender or 

else you can also cook it in the slow cooker all along the way up to tenderness.

  (A)

1.5 Liter water

4 pcs ginger,crushed

3 whole garlics,crushed

2 tbsp light soya sauce

2 1/2 tbsp dark soya sauce or adjust to own taste

1  tbsp sweet soy sauce or adjust to own taste

20 g rock sugar cubes

2 dried chillies,(optional)soak and soften

2 tbsp shaoxing wine or adjust to own taste

1 bark cinnamon

3-4 star anise

4 cloves

           (B)

Thailand,but we don't have to go to Thailand to eat.Just cook this easy fried rice at home.

Gather all the ingredients together in the kitchen and start to cook.It's that easy,but first you have to
cook the rice first or an overnight leftover rice will do.I used freshly cooked rice because there's no way we have a leftover rice at home.I usually cooked enough portion of rice for the whole family so that it is not wasted.

I decided to use dried prawns for frying the rice and fresh prawns for the decoration.In my opinion
dried prawns makes a nice fried rice.Sometimes,I do use fresh prawns,cut small the size for frying
pineapple fried rice and bigger prawns for decorating the rice.

CREAMY BUTTER PRAWNS

Last week,I cooked butter prawns for five people and with egg floss.There are twenty four prawns altogether.

For the egg floss,I think I still need room for improvement.My method of cooking the egg is not up to par yet.I wanted to get a thin strips,but I've failed.I guess I have to make another go and hope to achieve it.

This week,I cooked butter prawns for two people and without the egg floss.My second son loves

butter prawns so much.Whenever we went out to eat,we'll surely call butter prawns for him.We

also liked to eat butter prawns but not as much as him.I liked butter chicken more.

Because of the covid-19,we still can't be able to eat outside,so prompt me to cook at home all

the delicious famous dish that we usually eat from outside.Afterall,cooking for me is not hard

at all.It is my desire to cook a hearty meals at home almost everyday for my family.

As for cooking the butter prawns,curry leaves is a must as it made the dish more significant,richer

and aromatic robust flavour.Butter and curry leaves made a perfect distintive flavour.It is surely a dish to be enjoyed by most Malaysians.It is not as spicy as it look with some chillies added,otherwise I wouldn't have enjoy the dish cos I don't like hot and spicy food.Anyway,if cooking at home,we can cook it less spicy.I never bother to cook butter prawns at home because we can easily eat it from outside at the restaurants.Since the covid-19 lockdown,I began

cooking it at home.I think I'll be doing that from now on because I started enjoying cooking the dish at home.

SAMBAL IKAN BILIS

 

If one scoop is not enough,then 2 scoop or more.You gonna love it.

I cooked a mild ikan bilis sambal today as a side dish.This sambal is not too hot and spicy as I've taken out the chilly seeds.If you like hot spicy sambal,don't deseed.Sambal is a spicy chilly
sauce that can be found in Malaysia,Singapore and Indonesia.Other than that,I'm not sure where
else can be found.
When I think of sambal,my mind flash back to the school when my teacher ask us students to
cook sambal to make sambal sandwiches for a sport event..At that time,we didn't even get to eat
the sambal sandwiches.Lucky for me as I was not into spicy food that I didn't even drool about
it.The first time I cooked sambal was when I made Nasi lemak a few years back.

This time is Sambal Ikan Bilis or Sambal Anchovies.


My recipe is just roughly an estimation.I made according to my taste,but my hubby said it is nice.


INGREDIENTS;


1 Small bowl(3/4 cup) Ikan Bilis/Anchovies,Wash and Pat Dry

5 Red Onions

4 Pips Garlics

FOR COOKING;

1 Tbp White Sugar

1 Tbsp Brown Sugar(Gula Melaka Replacement)

150 ML Water

About 40-50 G Assam Jawa/Tamarind

1 Big Onion,Slice Thinly

Cooking Oil

1.  Pour enough cooking oil into a saucepan or wok.When the oil is hot,deep-fry the anchovies until
     brown and crisp.Dish it up onto a plate and put aside for later use.Leave the oil for cooking the
     paste.

2.  In a blender,blend all the ingredients that need to be blended.

3.  In any bowl,add the water to the tamarind and squeeze the tamarind with your hands until you get
     tamarind or assam jawa juice.Strain through a sieve to get rid of the seed.

4.  Prepare a saucepan for cooking.

5.  Using the same anchovies oil,take some of the oil out to cook the spicy paste.When smoke comes
     out, put in the big onions and fry till fragrant.

6.  Add in the spicy paste.Add in the white and brown sugar or gula melaka if you using that.Stir and
     keep on stirring all the time.

7.  Lastly,add in the tamarind water,follow by the anchovies.Continue cooking until the sauce start to       thicken and oil has comes out.Off the fire and dish it out.

After kept in the fridge,the oil harden.All I have to do is before eat,leave it on the table and the oil will come back.

TOMATO KWAY TIAW

This is yet another version of dish with sweet tomato sauce.It is the same as the tomato noodles that
I had posted some time ago in my blog and a video to go with it. Check it up: here

It is a Sarawak street food.The rice noodles is fried with some light soya sauce and then the tomato
thick soup is then added to it.

Whenever we had late night supper at our  neighborhood stall,I like to call for tomato kueh tiaw.It is
one of my favourite dish When there are no kueh tiaw,then tomato noodles will be a replacement,.
Both have the same sauce.No doubt.I love eating this since I was a young girl.It can be found almost everywhere in Kuching.I never failed to eat this.I'm a tomato lover.

There are times I liked to make myself this special kind of dish at home.It is not hard to make afterall.
Take precautions not to over fried the rice noodles/kueh tiaw or else it will be sticky.

It is not only a supper meal,but meals for breakfast,lunch and dinner and all other occassions like parties.I used to cook for guests on my son's birthday.

Prepare in advance any kinds of ingredients you want to be added in the sauce.Most of the ingredients are usually chicken,prawns,fishcakes,fishballs,cuttlefish,char seow and green vegetables.
There are some people who like to add in sausages and artificial crabmeat,but it is not my
choice.Sometimes,I can just go simple like adding only chicken,prawns ,fishballs and some
green vegetables.Fresh tomatoes can also be included in to add more tomato flavour.

Char Seow is bbq meat.

I have also pre-mix the sauce in advance,but you can do it the alternate ways.Cook it all in a
saucepan.
