Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Padi
This is one of the famous Malay dishes.... Chicken In Spicy Yellow Coconut Milk. Negeri Sembilan origins, one of the fourteen states in Malaysia located about 1 hour journey from Kuala Lumpur... Negeri Sembilan cuisines are well known with pungent and chili hot tongue biting... A lot of chilies, but i really like it...
Thanks to Aunt Hamidah, Sera's mom... My childhood friend and a very good friend. They have taught me this very delicious chicken dish. Very simple and absolutely finger liking good! Not necessary with chicken only, it goes well with fish, beef and even prawn... the smell of fresh turmeric and lemongrass gives a lot of authentic taste and tangy aroma. And It is just irresistible.. YAYY..... I can't help myself from eating double as much as than usual.... Dealing with it, I am lacking of self control.... YAY....
Traditionally adding in coconut milk, nowadays will be more convenient with packed and pasteurized coconut milk... 250 ml in a packet is equivalent to 1 thick coconut milk... In my cooking, if I am using ready-to-use coconut milk, I love to mix in evaporated milk to add more milky taste into the dish...
Ingredients :
1/2 bird of chicken
1 packet of coconut milk
Evaporated milk
Potato
Lemongrass
Chilies
Fresh turmeric
Turmeric leaves
Garcinia rind
Salt
