How to cook

Prepare chicken & paste

  • Cut the chicken into 4 large pieces.
  • Combine garlic, shallots and candlenuts in a mortar and pound with a pestle until it becomes a paste.

Start cooking

  • Heat oil in a pan and saute the galangal until it’s fragrant.
  • Add the paste, bay leaves and ginger slices into the pan.
  • Saute all the ingredients together on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in coconut water and cook until the oil separates from the paste.
  • Add salt and chicken, ensuring that the latter is evenly coated with the mixture.
  • Simmer the chicken until it is tender and all the coconut water has evaporated to leave behind a thick sauce in the pan.
  • Set aside the chicken on some kitchen towels to cool.
  • Chill in the refrigerator if left out for more than 3 hours.
  • Deep fry the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy!

To make Sambal Jelantah

  • Pound all the ingredients together in a mortar using a pestle; if you don’t have a mortar and pestle, simply use a blender.
  • Stir in heated sunflower oil and adjust salt to taste.
