4. Ayam Masak Sambal

Hello ppl! Below is a simple ayam masak sambal recipe which I am going to cook for today's Iftar. Today hubby and I are going to my parents' house for Iftar so I'm bringing the dish as well. Hopefully it won't turn out to be so hot! - dad likes any dish to be mildly hot. (Serves 4)

Ingredients A:
1 medium size chicken (cut into 12 parts and cleaned)
2 tablespoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon salt

Ingredients B:
3 tablespoon home-made chilli paste (boil dried chillies and blend it)
2 onions
5 cloves garlic
1 small stalk of curry leaves
2 pieces of dried tamarind
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of water
2 tablespoon oil

Method:

1. Combine Ingredients A in a bowl. Make sure all chicken parts are well coated with turmeric powder and salt. Put aside to rest
2. Chop the onions and garlic and blend it
3. In a wok, heat the oil and sweat the onions, garlics and chilli paste until fragrant. At this point when the oil becomes reddish, put in the curry leaves and dried tamarind. Stir well
4. Pour the water slowly and let it simmer for a while until the gravy thickens a bit
5. Add sugar and salt to taste
6. Finally, put in the chicken and give it a good stir

Serve it hot with rice, bread or even French loaf! Enjoy!
