Cooking: Anakapai's Chicken Curry

Since my parents are away and I have three of my nieces and nephew staying with me and it's been ages since I cooked my feymes curry (feymes because my house mates always begged me to cook it for them), I decided to cook some chicken curry and blog about it (blame it on STP's influence..hehe)

The mise-en-place

The ingredients:
5 pcs chicken wings(marinate with curry powder)

1 stalk lemongrass (bruised)

Pounded ingredients
1 inch ginger
3 cm turmeric
3 pcs cili padi
red shallots
garlic

Curry Powder - mixed with water into a thick paste
(I used Adabi's chicken and meat curry powder)

2 pcs Chicken stock cubes

Potatoes - half boiled and quartered
Brinjals - halved and cut into 2 inches pieces.

Coconut Milk


Use some cooking oil to fry the lemongrass stalk, then add the pounded ingredients until fragrant.
Add the curry paste and fry until fragrant.
Add the chicken, make sure the chicken pieces are well coated by the paste before adding water.
Add the chicken stock cubes.

After it starts to boil, add the potatoes and brinjals (I added brinjals since my niece and nephews doesn't really like to eat veggies- this way they'll have to eat it / I couldn't be arsed to cook it separately)

When the brinjals are almost cooked, add the coconut milk. Lightly stir.
When the potatoes and brinjals are cooked, it is ready to serve. :-)

Ta-dah! Anakapai's chicken curry.
