it takes time to cook curry chicken on the spot so basically i provided the recipe and cooked the dish at home and brought over to teban gardens and heated up there, while i walked through the steps in the recipe i provided.
i used to make my own curry paste, but i not picky so i find the ready curry paste like heng’s, mak, and happy family all ok for me.
for me, curry paste settled, a key for me is the stock. in use very tasty intense chicken stock from chicken bones boiled with carrots etc and reduced over 4hrs. one can use ready chicken stock too.
in this case for cooking demo and sharing purpose, i recommend to remove the breast meat and boil the boney chicken parts like ribs etc over 1/2hr, then add back the breast meat…
for me i think texture is as key as the taste, so chicken must be just right and not overcooked, like anything else actually, lol! 🙂
the residents loved the curry chicken and potatoes and take with some “chiam tao roti” baguette!
