Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken. Rinse and pat dry the chicken thighs. Set aside.
Slice the lemongrass stalk thinly and peel and grate the ginger and galangal.
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.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the turmeric powder, salt, and white pepper to the pot, followed by the chicken thighs. Stir to coat the chicken with the spices.
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.
After 30 minutes, check the chicken for doneness; the meat should be tender and almost falling off the bone.
If the sauce is too thin, uncover the pot and let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken.
Stir in the lime juice and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lime juice as needed.
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.
