Kari Kai... or Chicken Curry

September 04, 2009
This is a beautiful chicken curry... the flavour... the taste... the aroma... is just so heavenly...

Not like the ready made curry powder that we buy off the grocer shelf... The taste of this Kari Kai is very different... you just have to try it.... you'll want more with every bite.... Its good to go with Nasi Kunyit too....

  • 300g potatoes cut into wedges
  • 400ml thin coconut milk
  • 100ml thick coconut milk
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
Spice paste - blend all ...
  • 15 dried chillies - soaked
  • 1 brown onion
  • 3 garlics
  • 20g belacan
  • 2cm tumeric
  • 3 tablespoon coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1tsp fennel
