One of the menu at our Eid gathering. Maria Astati Rivard cooked this and graciously enough to share the recipe 😀 This dish is soooo yummy!
1 Chicken of approximately 750 g
3 Tbs vegetable oil
1 jeruk purut leaf
1 lemon grass stalk, bruised
500 cc thin santan and 250 cc thick santan
3 Tbs sweet soy sauce
3 Tbs melted butter
Spice-paste :
1 Tbs coriandre seeds
1 tsp peppercorns
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
10 red chillies (aku pake cabe rawit + cabe botolan)
4 cloves garlic
1 cm slice of fresh turmeric
1/2 cm slice of ginger
2 thin slices of lengkuas
5 candlenuts
salt to taste 1 tsp sugar
Cut up the chicken in 4 or 8 parts. Heat the oil in a wok and saute the spice-paste, together with jeruk purut leaf and lemon grass until fragrant. Add the chicken and stir it around until chicken is starting to stiffen.
Pour in the santan and let it simmer until chicken is half done.
Add the thick santan and continue cooking until santan is reduced and the chicken is tender.
Mix the melted butter with the sweet soy sauce and brush it all over the chicken. Grill the pieces of chicken over a low fire (kalo aku dibakar dalam oven 25 menit)
