That looks really delicious. Will be glad to get hold of the recipe Bro.
Recipe for ayam chilly serai:
Ingredients:
15 red chilies
25 dried chillies, soaked in hot water
3” turmeric
6 pcs buah keras (candlenuts)
18 shallots
8 cloves garlic
3 stalks lemongrass, sliced
1 big onion
1 tbsp belachan (toasted)
(blend ingredients until fine)
1 whole chicken (1.8 kg) or 6 chicken thighs, cut into desired size, marinate with salt and turmeric powder for at least an hour or overnight
5 stalks lemongrass, white part only, bruised
2 tbsp assam paste, mixed with
8 tbsp water
Salt and sugar, to taste
Some cooking oil
Some kaffir lime leaves (daun limau purut), bruised
Method:
Pan fry marinated chicken pieces until almost cooked. Set aside.
Heat a wok with cooking oil, add in blended ingredients together with lemongrass. Sauté for about 15-20 minutes until the colour turns darker & the oil separates.
Then add in chicken pieces & assam juice. Let it cook for another 15 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. Add in salt and sugar to taste, & the kaffir lime leaves. Stir & let it cook for another few minutes, then turn off heat.
If you don't like it too spicy, remove all the chilly seeds.
I marinate the chicken overnight.
Bon appétit.
