Before there was the Butter Chicken, there was the Nyonya Chicken Curry.
This is one of the best curries I have made in my Thermomix, and one for the traditional Malaysian style curry lovers out there.
Be generous with the curry leaves – they really make the curry recipe!

Nik’s Breakfast Tip: Save some of the Nyonya curry sauce to poach eggs in or pour over hard boiled eggs!
This was inspired by Poh’s Malaysian Nyonya Chicken Curry.
