Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1 piece lemongrass stalk
- 3 leaves kafir lime leaves
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 inch galangal
- 4 pieces shallots
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 200 ml water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the chicken. Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Set aside.
Step 2
Slice the lemongrass stalk thinly and peel and grate the ginger and galangal.
Step 3
Peel the shallots and garlic, then blend them together with the sliced lemongrass, grated ginger, and galangal into a smooth paste using a food processor or a mortar and pestle.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Add the turmeric powder, salt, and white pepper to the pot, followed by the chicken thighs. Stir to coat the chicken with the spices.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk and water, and add the lime leaves. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
Step 7
After 30 minutes, check the chicken for doneness; the meat should be tender and almost falling off the bone.
Step 8
If the sauce is too thin, uncover the pot and let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken.
Step 9
Stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.
Step 10
Serve the Nut-Free Ayam Pop hot, garnished with a few extra lime leaves for decoration if desired. Enjoy with steamed rice or your favorite side.
