2 ¼ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root

Time 1h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 onions, rough chopped
5 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 1/2 inches ginger, fresh root, peeled and chopped
2 sticks lemongrass, roughly chopped
2 chilies, seeded and chopped (habaneros & Thai chilies fine)
1 tablespoon fish sauce (nam pla)
1 teaspoon turmeric, ground
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
4 green cardamom pods (two black fine)
2 tablespoons coriander, rough chopped
salt, to taste
black pepper, fresh ground, to taste

Steps:

  • Chicken pieces: cut off both legs and thighs together taking as much meat as possible from the carcass at the top of the thigh, separate legs and thighs. Cut down along breast as far as wing at side of breast bone to expose ribs, cut through ribs at top along length of breast bone, cut through ribs at bottom of breast as far as wing, cut wing at joint with body and remove breast and wing as one piece, cut into two approximately one third along breast from wing.
  • Grind the first 7 ingredients (i.e. up to and including the turmeric) together into a smooth paste (food processor/pestle and mortar etc). Heat oil in wide frying pan or wok and add paste, stir-fry until moisture has evaporated and paste has started to brown.
  • Add chicken pieces and stir well, scrape bottom of pan to prevent sticking. Cover tightly and simmer for 35-45 minutes - there should be enough liquid given off from the chicken during cooking but check now and then and stir. If chicken does get too dry and starts sticking/burning (and it's never happened to me) add a tablespoon or so of water and stir in, scraping residue off bottom of pan.
  • Shortly before chicken is ready slit open cardamom pods and extract seeds, crush seeds in pestle and mortar and add to chicken with coriander leaf, stir and simmer for a further minute or so, taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve with plain rice or coconut rice.
