Kari Ayam / Malaysian Curry Chicken
When I went to meet my friend in Chicago, we had been to Penang Restaurant for dinner. I never have been to any Malaysian restaurant before but N does many times, since his parents lived in Malaysia for quite a long time.
They all suggested me Roti Canai with the Chicken curry. I very much fell in love with those after having them. Hence I added it to my priority recipes list to prepare at home. The roti canai tasted much like our Ceylon parota but very thin and the chicken curry is different from what we cook. It’s not too much loaded with spicy aroma though it had all the spices we use. I noticed they add coconut milk instead of ground coconut and also the curry gets rich yellow color coz of lot of turmeric.
I read that home made curry masala gives the authentic taste to the Kari Ayam. In search for the recipes I found a tasty chicken curry from here, since I didn’t have Malaysian Chicken Curry powder, I planned to make it at home and got the recipe from here.
It was worth the effort, we loved this chicken curry. The addition of coconut milk makes it milder and with the fresh ground curry masala, it tasted heavenly with Parotas. Enjoy this Malaysian Chicken curry as much as we did !!
