Ayam Masak Merah – Chicken, chilli and spices

April 18th, 2011 | Add a Comment

Ayam masak merah (chicken, chilli and spices) is one of my favourite malay dish. As with Malay recipes, it utilises a lot of spices to create a fusion of tangy and pungent taste. Malay food, never fails to excite the taste buds.

With the proper equipment, this dish should be a walk in the park. Here’s how you do it.

Recipe

Ingredients

3 pieces chicken leg (cut into bite size chunks)
2 tbs turmeric powder
1 onion (half cut into strips, the other half cut fine)
3-4 dried chilli (crushed)
2 birds eye chilli (sliced fine)
1 x thumbsized ginger, sliced fine
4 X chopped tomatoes
2 tbs tomato paste
2 tbs tomato sauce
3 tbs sweet soya sauce (also known as kecap manis)
1 tbs sugar
Vegetable oil

Method

Marinade chicken in turmeric powder for half hour
In a mortar, make a paste by griding half an onion, dried chilli, birds eye chilli and ginger into a paste. Alternatively, place them all into a blender with 1 tbs of vegetable oil
Heat up a pot with 4 tbs of oil then shallow fry the chicken till brown and crispy; well yellow and crispy in this instance (chicken does not need to be complete cooked at this stage) – If your pot is not big enough, consider frying the chicken in batches.
Remove the chicken and let it rest on paper towels
With the remaining oil, add in the spice paste and allow to fry for 1-2 minutes
Add in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, sweet soya sauce and sugar and give it a good stir
Add in half cup of water and allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens into a gravy like texture
Add in chicken and allow to cook thoroughly.
Serve with rice
