Instructions

Step 1

For 30 minutes, soak the chicken pieces in lemon juice.

Step 2

In the meantime, preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. In a skillet, toast the walnuts, cilantro, and cumin for 1 minute, or until fragrant. Transfer to a large mortar and grind with shallots, garlic, galangal, ginger, peppercorns, and turmeric to make a paste. If necessary, work in batches.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Stir in the spice paste for 2 to 3 minutes, or until aromatic. Combine the lemongrass, tamarind juice, lime leaves, bay leaves, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.

Step 4

Remove the chicken pieces from the lemon juice and place them in the skillet. Turn to coat evenly with spices. Pour in the coconut milk, both thin and thick. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes, or until flavors meld. Mix in the basil leaves. Cook for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender.

Step 5

In a bowl, combine the chicken and sauce and top with fried shallots.
