Spicy Malay Chicken Curry Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, wide pan. Add the onion and fry for 5 mins until softened, stirring every now and then. Stir in the garlic, ginger and cloves, and cook for 5 mins more, stirring frequently to stop it sticking. Add all the remaining spices and the fresh chilli, stir briefly, then tip in the tomatoes with 2 cans of water, plus the chutney and crumbled stock cube.
• Add the chicken thighs, pushing them under the liquid, then cover the pan and leave to cook for 35 mins. Stir well, add the potatoes and cook uncovered for 15-20 mins more until they are tender. Stir in the coriander.
• About 10 mins before you want to serve, make the rice. Put the butter, rice, raisins, sugar and spices in a large pan with 550ml water and 0.5 tsp salt. Bring to the boil and, when the butter has melted, stir, cover and cook for 10 mins. Turn off the heat and leave undisturbed for 5 mins. Fluff up and serve with the curry.

Steps:

• Heat oil in large pan, cook onion, ginger and garlic, stirring until onion is soft.
• Add chicken, cook, stirring, until browned lightly.
• Stir in spices, lemon grass, lime leaves and chilli, cook, stirring until fragrant.
• Add remaining ingredients, simmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until thickened slightly.
• Serve with rice.

Steps:

• Heat the oil and fry the onions for 2 minutes. Add the green pepper and garlic granules, fry for a further 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in the curry powder, chili flakes, tomatoes, chicken and chicken stock. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the apple and raisins, simmer for a further 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.
• Ladle the stew into shallow soup bowls. Top each with brown rice and garnish with sliced almonds, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine shallots, chile peppers, lemongrass, almonds, cilantro, garlic, ginger, and 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a food processor; pulse into a smooth paste. Measure out 1 cup of paste into a large bowl. Add chicken thighs and mix until thoroughly coated.
• Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry chicken in batches until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate using a slotted spoon; set aside.
• Place onion, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and carrot in the same skillet. Cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add snow peas; cook and stir until slightly softened but still crisp, about 1 minute.
• Return chicken to the skillet. Stir in coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Simmer until flavors combine, 10 to 15 minutes.
