Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Kampung chicken breast
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 4 pieces Shallots
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 3 pieces Kaffir lime leaves
- 1 stalk Lemongrass
- 1 inch Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 500 milliliters Water
Instructions
Start by roughly chopping the garlic, shallots, and ginger. Trim the lemongrass and bruise it slightly to release its aroma.
In a mortar and pestle or a food processor, grind the garlic, shallots, turmeric, coriander powder, ginger, and some black pepper until you get a coarse paste.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass to the pan. Sauté for another minute to combine the flavors.
Pour in the coconut milk and water into the pan, stirring to mix everything evenly. Add salt and the remaining black pepper to taste.
Place the chicken breasts in the pan. Ensure the liquid covers at least 3/4 of the chicken. You may add a bit more water if necessary. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan and cook the chicken for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The chicken should be tender and well-infused with the aromatic broth.
After 30 minutes, remove the lid and increase the heat. Allow the liquid to reduce until it thickens, basting the chicken periodically. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once the liquid has thickened and coated the chicken, remove from heat.
Serve the sugar-free Dada Ayam Kampung hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped herbs like cilantro or parsley for added freshness.
