Chicken Semur image

This is an Indonesian chicken dish - I got the recipe from a cook at a roadside cafe in central Java. While some of the ingredients may be hard to find ie the ketup manis & palm sugar it is worth the effort.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 kg chicken piece (thigh & drumsticks are best)
1 brown onion
2 garlic cloves
2 cm piece gingerroot
1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon ground pepper
250 g tomatoes, sliced into thin wedges
1/4 cup sweet soy sauce
2 tablespoons palm sugar (gula jawa)
1/4 cup coconut cream
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Mince the onion, peeled garlic and ginger and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or fry pan and brown chicken pieces, set aside.
  • Drain off the oil leaving about 1 tbsp in the wok adding the minced onion mix and saute about 10 mins making sure it does not brown.
  • Add the nutmeg and pepper with the tomatoes, and saute a further 10 mins until the tomatoes start to break down.
  • Add the chicken pieces, ketup manis and palm sugar and salt to taste. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours (this will depend on the size of the chicken pieces).
  • Add the coconut milk and bring back to heat. Don't put the lid back on or the coconut milk will curdle.
  • Service with plain steam rice.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I would recommend using less chili peppers next time.

This was an excellent recipe! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I loved the combination of spices, and the tamarind paste added a nice tanginess.

The chicken semur was good, but I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken semur turned out delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and they cooked perfectly in the sauce. The sauce was thick and flavorful, and I loved the addition of the tomatoes and bell peppers.
