Hold the phone!

A simple curry from Malaysia that offers all the flavour and very little fuss. Oh, go on then.

Mash up some ingredients, smother some chicken and bung it in the oven. Microwave some rice (or make it from scratch like me), pour yourself a beer/wine and let’s chat food and rugby.

Ingredients

1 kg chicken drumsticks/thighs
½ packet desiccated coconut, toasted
1 tin coconut milk
pinch of salt

Chicken Marinade:
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp curry powder

Curry Paste:
30 g coriander powder
7g fennel
3g cumin
60g galangal
20 shallots
2 garlic
2 stalks lemongrass
1/2 tspn turmeric
3 tbsp dried chilli
5 kaffir lime leaves
6 macadamia nuts/almond/cashews

You will need a blender or pestle and mortar for the marinade and if you are cooking along then why not get ahead of the game and get it made and marinade the chicken so you can just have a chat.

This will change your opinion of curry and if you’re a heat freak then 10 Birdseye chillis will get you popping.
