Instructions

Curry Instructions

  • Without washing bowl from making the paste, add 1 tin of Ayam coconut cream, lemon grass, kaffir lime leaves and 1 portion of curry paste. Cook for 10 min/100°C or 212°F/speed 1/MC on. While that is cooking, coat chicken in soy sauce and fish sauce and marinate.
  • Insert butterfly. Add chicken and sauce mixture, remaining tin of coconut cream and coconut sugar. Cook for 13 min/90°C or 195°F/slowest speed/reverse/MC on.
  • Taste and add salt to desired amount, break up chicken gently with a spoon, add vegetables and bamboo shoots and cook for a further 5 min/100°C or 212°F/slowest speed/reverse/MC on.
  • Pour curry into thermal server, stir through torn up thai green basil and let it sit for 5 mins covered until serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the shrimp paste and add preferred vegetables at appropriate time. For harder vegetables, like potato, add when you would add chicken.
For a lower calorie version, use only 1 tin of Ayam coconut cream and substitute the second tin with 250 g or 8.8 oz of chicken liquid stock or 1 tbsp stock concentrate + 250 g or 8.8 oz water - the curry will be a little more watery, but still delicious!
This recipe was inspired by a traditional recipe given to me by the amazing teacher at the Penang Spice Gardens (Malaysia). If ever you find yourself in Penang, you must visit the spice gardens and have a cooking class.
