INGREDIENTS

Chicken
  • Chicken Thigh
Ingredients
  • 1 packet of Sadia Chicken Thigh (cut into chunks)
  • 2 tsp madras curry powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • 2 medium onions (chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 tsp ginger (grated)
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 60ml peanut oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes (chopped)
  • 375ml warm water
  • 2 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 stalks lemongrass (trimmed and lightly bruised)
  • Chilli padi, to garnish (sliced)
  • Fresh cilantro, to garnish (chopped)

METHOD

  1. Mix Sadia Chicken Thigh with madras curry powder, salt and turmeric. Set aside while you prepare the paste.
  2. In a blender, combine the onions, garlic, ginger, paprika and chilli powder. Blitz until you have a thick paste.
  3. Heat the peanut oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and fry for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken to the pan and increase the heat slightly. Stir for a few minutes until the chicken is evenly coated. Then add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in warm water — just enough to cover the chicken — along with the fish sauce and lemongrass stalks. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pan, and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
  7. Remove the lid and simmer for another 10–15 minutes to reduce and thicken the sauce slightly.
  8. Remove the lemongrass. Garnish with cilantro and chilli padi before serving.
