Ingredients
- 2 pieces free-range chicken breasts
- 200 grams freshly grated coconut
- 4 pieces shallots
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 piece lemongrass stalk
- 3 pieces kaffir lime leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 500 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the free-range chicken breasts into medium-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cayenne pepper. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Bruise the lemongrass stalk by gently smashing it with the back of a knife and add it to the pan along with the kaffir lime leaves. Stir well.
Step 5
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and toss to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken starts to brown.
Step 6
Meanwhile, squeeze the grated coconut with water to extract coconut milk. Repeat this process to make approximately 500 ml of coconut milk.
Step 7
Pour the coconut milk over the chicken, add salt and palm sugar, and stir to combine.
Step 8
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the chicken gently in the coconut milk for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves before serving.
Step 10
Serve the dada ayam kampung hot with steamed rice and a side of vegetables or sambal.
