nonya curry chicken 

this my 3rd community lunch dish for newgate learning hub on 9.4.2016. ^^

my 1st for newgate community lunch was on 27.2.2016.

i did the same nonya curry chicken for my 7th teban gardens community breakfast on 4.3.2016.

deboned 2.5 chickens about 1hr

i deboned 2.5 chickens the night before, took about 1hr.

stock from bones of 1.5 chicken + 2 carrot + 1/4 radish

used the bones from 1.5 chicken to make a tasty stock.

i used my usual nonya curry chicken recipe.

the main consideration here were:-

1. debone the chicken easier to eat for older folks
2. make sure i have 80 pieces or more of chicken & taupok as they were served on each plate
3. retain the colour & lemak & flavour w/o the spiciness.

i prepared the rempah in my nonya curry chicken recipe the night before with less dry chilli thoroughly soaked & changed water several times so not spicy.

in the morning-

• i fried 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 star anise, 2 cloves, 1.5 twigs of curry leaves with the rempah & some coconut milk in 2 tbsp oil to get the aroma.
• then i added 2.5 deboned chicken & fried, coat thoroughly for few minutes.
• the i added 2 cups chicken stock, bring to boil, covered & simmered for 5mins (deboned chicken breast & thighs need no more than 10mins in total)

add 80 taupok strips from 2packets (20)

about 1/2 hr before i packed & left for bathesda community’s newgate learning lab in bedok, i removed the chicken pieces except the wings & wingsticks, added the taupok strips plus 3 cut potatoes & boiled for 15mins.

& add 3 potatoes

then i packed in aluminium tray & covered with aluminium foil to keep warm & stored sungly in a styrofoam tray container for the 35mins journey.

& the curry chicken dish was still nicely warm when dishing out onto the plates of beehoon noodles to be served to the community folks.
