Instructions

Step 1

Add the oil, chilli powder, roasted and unroasted curry powder, salt, ginger and garlic paste to the chicken and let it marinade for at least 15 minutes or overnight. You may also add pepper after it's been mixed if you like.

Step 2

Add oil into the frying pan and once it's ready, add the onion, lemongrass, pandan, curry leaves, cinnamon stick piece, green chillies and tamarind paste and temper together.

Step 3

Add the marinaded chicken and mix well for 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken colours and flavour is sealed

Step 4

Add a little bit of water - enough for the chicken to steam and not get burnt/stuck to the bottom of the pan

Step 5

Reduce flame to mid-low and cover with a lid and let it cook for 15 minutes - adding more warm water if necessary (not cold water)

Step 6

After 15 minutes the curry should be cooked with adequate liquid/curry/gravy. The oil should be separated as well by now.

Step 7

Enjoy!
