Malaysian Chicken Curry (Ready in 45 minutes!)

I love Malaysian food, and one of my favourite dishes is Malaysian Chicken Curry. Especially when paired with hot roti canai :)
The additions of red chilies, lemongrass, and coconut milk really make the flavours pop on this curry. It is mellow, and creamy with just the right hit of heat. I hope you get to try this recipe at home :D
Full recipe listed below. I hope you enjoy this video :)
INGREDIENTS
For Curry Powder
1 tbsp Turmeric
10 Cloves
15 Black Peppercorns
1 tbsp, ground Cumin
2 tbsp, ground Coriander
1 tsp, Fennel
1 stick of Cinnamon
1 Star Anise
4 Dried Red Chillis
For Spice Paste
4 Dry Chilies soaked in boiling water for 30 minutes (seeds removed)
3 Shallots
4 cloves Garlic
2 inches Ginger
1 tbsp, Cashews
2 tsp, Soy Sauce
2 tbsp, Oil
For Curry
2 lbs of Chicken Drumsticks (or thighs)
1 tbsp, Soy Sauce
2 tbsp, Vegetable Oil
1 stalk Lemongrass, trimmed and cut lengthwise
1 tsp, Sugar
Salt to taste
2 Large Potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
2.5 cups, Water
3/4 cup, Coconut Milk
METHOD
Place all ingredients for curry powder in a coffee grinder and process until a fine powder forms.
Place all ingredients for spice paste in a blender with 2 tbsp of curry powder and blend until smooth.
Marinate chicken in 1 tbsp of curry powder and soy sauce.
In a large pot on medium heat, add oil and add spice paste. Saute for 30-45 seconds or until fragrant.
Next add in chicken and cook on high heat or until all sides of the chicken have been seared and coated in the spice paste. Then add lemongrass.
Then add in potatoes, sugar, salt to taste, and water and increase heat to high. Bring curry to a simmer, and drop heat to medium and cook covered for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is tender enough to fall off the bone.
Drop heat to low, and add coconut milk. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken. Remove from heat. Enjoy! :)

I just stumbled up your videos and I gotta say your personality kept me watching! Watched a couple already 🤘🏽

[@rasheedabegumbintikamalbac6247]

I live in Malaysia, nice seeing our curry in your channel, you rock!

[@questionmark9819]

Perfect video, no long ramblings, straight to the point and good visuals and instructions. Thank you.

[@laneromel5667]

That tasted pretty amazing. I did not realize making your own Curry Powder has so much more flavour. I roasted the Curry powder for about 2 minutes to give that extra punch. I substituted Sesame seeds for the Cashews, due to allergies. Excellent dish as usual. Thank you.

[@idnotinuse]

Hello Vijaya! This is da bomb! A suggestion if I may.. try putting in the lemograss right before adding the paste into the wok. The lemongrass will infuse into the oil making it even more fragrant. This curry would be totes yummm with thosai too. 🧡🧡❤️❤️ Lots of positive vibes from 🇲🇾

[@graceharney7352]

i'm so glad i found your channel! i am south indian, although not tamil, and anytime i see recipes, it's always in tamil or hindi and i'm not too good on understanding those languages. i feel like trying every recipe i watch you make, and i love that you aren't shy of showing spilled food or a messy hand once in a while, b/c that's wht happens in a kitchen. this chicken curry looks divine and once i can find lemongrass around here, i will try it! thank you!

[@rayzdays82]

This is the only video I've found that actually shows how to make the curry powder; I don't like using premade spice blends. Thank you!!

[@alyssacunningham5690]

Just made this recipe today, and it is wonderful! I did take a few liberties, however, as I'm physiologically incapable of following a recipe exactly as it's written. My curry came out with a thicker (probably richer) sauce than yours above--which is fine because I prefer a thicker sauce. I added a few torn kaffir lime leaves from our tree, which gave the curry a really nice lemony flavor in concert with the lemongrass. Thanks so much for your videos! They're so easy to understand, and the procedures you demonstrate are very straightforward. :-)

[@therealchickentender]

Oh snap! More Malay & Indonesian! (these are my favorite dishes from travel and from eating out casually in New Zealand that you just can't find in the states with any reliability). Nice! Would love to see your take on mi goreng if you have one.

[@falcons9659]

Malaysian here, and this curry looks awesome!

[@vijaya16]

That means a lot! Thank you so much 🙏🏽😄

[@Danicabal]

I like you show us recipes which is prepared using potatoes instead of rice all the time! 🙂

[@anandyallappa3704]

Divine! The fragrance almost jumps out of the screen!! Especially when the spices are freshly roasted and grounded. In Mauritius we have a slight variation, so yours gives me a slight twist with the coconut cream and citronella. Tks Anand Yallappa from Mauritius.

[@TheSmalik12]

Great recipe! Can't wait to try it. Quick question, I have fennel seeds as opposed to powder. Can I just grind down some seeds instead?

I love watching your videos and I'm wondering what grinder your using for your spices. I've had a hard time deciding which one to buy, and I like that you can do dry and wet ingredients in the grinder that you have.

[@craigalexanderpeiss]

@@vijaya16 This looks wonderful. I have a couple of questions. Is all the curry powder used in the 1 tbsp in the marinade for the chicken and the 2 tbsp in the spice paste? The curry powder is 3 tbsp in total? Also, will black cardamom work if it is all that is available? Thanks for all the great recipes!

[@PinoyGalaan]

[@elysehancock8448]

Hi Vijaya! Thank you for the recipe! For the curry paste, your video doesnt include cardamoms but the written recipes includes it. Are the cardamoms added?

[@Raul28153]

Love your work. LEMONGRASS. I can never find it What would you substitute with?

[@beckyhering6360]

What kind of grinder is that ? It can do both wet and dry?

[@swintsdeco6109]

Omg are you Malaysian?? This is awesome!

[@vijaya16]

I’m not Malaysian but I love Malaysian food! Thank you 😄

[@gohrb6926]

Vijaya, great recipe! Thank you for sharing. May I point out that "turmeric" is missing in the list of typed-out ingredients? Would you be able to add it? Thanks again!

[@vijaya16]

Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention! Just added it ❤️

[@XxDuhBirdsxX]

Hi Vijaya i smelled it through the screen 😁 delicious 🌶👍

[@vijaya16]

Hahaha love it!!!

[@lewisdickens3293]

[@thomasberry2787]

Vijaya please can you put your chicken curry video back up

[@vijaya16]

[@pamagujar183]

What small portable cooking would you recommend?

[@jonpulicicchio5000]

Thank you for the recipe and lesson. Could you relay the brand name of the spice grinder you are using please?

[@vijaya16]

It’s an Indian mixer grinder from premier

[@adamjames9503]

Do you have a link you could share for the spice grinder you're using? Thank you.

[@vijaya16]

If you search Indian mixer grinder on google, you'll find plenty of choices :)

[@adamjames9503]

excellent! Thanks.

[@frankdomel26]

👍👍👍 😊 💖

[@bullsnyyfan4442]

Hey Vijaya! Do you have any recipes with salmon you could show?

[@vijaya16]

I have a South Indian Fish Fry recipe on my channel that you can prepare with salmon :)

[@gerryhummel1511]

I see Sunday dinner .

[@vijaya16]

Wonderful 😁

[@deanr3417]

Any idea the exact type of chili’s that you used? ‘’Red’’ doesn’t narrow it down much for a grocery store trip! ;)

[@vijaya16]

The fresh ones are just labeled "Long Red Chilies" at the grocery store. The dried ones are cayenne.

[@Dr.Nagyonfaj]

Red Anaheim chilies may work well for you.
