Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Boil a kettle, then heat a large wide-based pan (preferably non-stick with a matching lid), adding a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Add the chicken thighs and sprinkle over half the ground turmeric and a pinch of salt and pepper
Cook uncovered for 5-6 min, turning occasionally, or until starting to brown
2
While the chicken is cooking, cut the cucumber[s] in half lengthways and then slice finely
3
Add the sliced cucumber to a bowl with the rice vinegar, 1 tsp [2 tsp]sugar and a generous pinch of salt
Stir it all together and set aside until serving – this is your quick-pickled cucumber
4
Add the basmati rice and 300ml [600ml] cold water to a pot with a lid, and bring to the boil over a high heat
Once boiling, reduce the heat to very low and cook, covered, for 10-12 min or until all the water has absorbed and the rice is cooked
Once cooked, remove from the heat and keep covered until serving
5
While the rice is cooking, bash the lemongrass stick[s] with a rolling pin, cut down the middle lengthways, remove the tough outer layers and chop the softer inner stem[s] finely
Peel and roughly chop the shallots, garlic and ginger
Chop half of the redchilli[es] roughly, and finely slice the rest (save these for garnish!)
Put everything into a food processor
6
Add the blanched almonds and the remaining ground turmeric to the food processor with 2 tbsp [4 tbsp]vegetable oil
Add the soy sauce and a pinch of sugar
Pulse until you're left with a slightly chunky paste – this is your spice paste
7
Add the spice paste to thechicken and cook for 5-6 min or until fragrant
Once fragrant,add the tamarind paste with 100ml [170ml]boiled water and cook, covered, for 6-8 min or until the chicken is cooked through (no pink meat!)
Meanwhile, remove the coconut cream from the sachet[s] and chop it roughly
Once done, add the chopped coconut cream and cook for 1 min further – this is your Malaysian coconut chicken
