Ingredients
For the Paste
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1 lemongrass stalk (white part only, sliced)
- 6 candlenuts (or macadamia nuts)
- 7 lices fresh ginger
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp mild chilli powder
- 1 tsp ground turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp belacan Malaysian shrimp paste (or Thai shrimp paste)
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Other
- 1/4 cup peanut oil (or vegetable)
- 2.2 lb (1kg) skinless & boneless chicken thighs (cut into large chunks)
- 1 can coconut milk (13.5oz/400ml)
Instructions
- In a pestle and mortar, a food processor or a stick blender, grind together all the paste ingredients until smooth.
- Take 2 tablespoons of the paste and stir into the chicken. Leave covered for 1/2 to 1 hour to marinade (this is optional)
- Heat the oil in a wok until hot - add the chicken pieces and let them brown for 5 minutes. Add the remaining curry paste and the coconut milk along with about 1 1/2 cups of water. Let this come to a simmer then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently, uncovered for 30 minutes to reduce the sauce until thick and creamy.
- Serve with plenty of fluffy Jasmine rice or some crunchy, flaky roti breads.
