Steps:

  • First make the curry paste. Put the garlic, chillies, lemon grass, ginger, shallots and turmeric in a food processor and whiz to a paste. With the motor running, trickle in a little groundnut oil and blend well, scraping the sides of the processor several times. (Or you can pound the ingredients together in batches using a pestle and mortar).
  • To make the curry, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat the groundnut oil in a large cast-iron casserole or heavy-based pan. Tip in the curry paste and stir over a medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until they are beginning to soften.
  • Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and stir to coat them in the spice paste. Add the lime leaves, cinnamon stick, star anise, coconut milk, stock, sugar, soy and fish sauces and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook gently for 30 to 40 minutes until the chicken is tender.
  • For the rice, rinse the grains in cold water to get rid of any excess starch. Drain and tip into a heavy-based pan. Add the rest of the ingredients with 200ml water, stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and gently simmer for 10 minutes. Leaving the lid on, remove the pan from the heat and leave to stand for 5 to 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve while still hot.
  • Skim off any excess oil on the surface of the curry. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Tip in the beans, put the lid on and cook for another 3 or 4 minutes until the beans are tender. Scatter the coriander leaves over the curry and serve with the coconut rice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your curry will taste. Look for fresh, plump chicken, crisp vegetables, and aromatic spices.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: This recipe is a good starting point, but feel free to adjust the spices to your own taste. If you like things spicy, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of chili peppers or omit them altogether.
  • Be patient: A good curry takes time to develop its flavor. Don't rush the process. Let the curry simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Malaysian chicken curry with peppers is traditionally served with rice, but you can also serve it with roti, naan, or your favorite bread.

Conclusion:

Malaysian chicken curry with peppers is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting curry recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
