Like Faldela Tolker, we built the flavor base of our Cape Malay curry on lightly browned onions.
Steps to make Malay Chicken Curry:
- Heat oil in wok on high heat and fry Cinnamon, star anise and cardamom until fragrant. Then Add shallots, ginger and garlic and fry until fragrant (10 seconds). Then add the curry powder and chicken. Mix well and cook until the oil separates.
- Add the coconut milk, tamarind slices (or juice), green and red chilies, curry leaves, salt (1 tsp) and mix well. [Optional; here is where you also add potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and onions.]
- Bring to a boil and turn the heat down. Cover the wok with a let to let the liquid absorb into the chicken. Cook for 20 minutes and stir every 3 to 5 minutes. Once the gravy has thicken, the dish is done.
We also used whole fennel seed and cumin seed, allowing them to add both texture and flavor. Tolker broke down a whole chicken for her dish, but we liked the ease of boneless, skinless thighs, which stay moister and taste richer than chicken breasts. It is called Cape Malay Chicken Curry. This is not an authentic Malaysian curry. But the name Cape comes from the town called Western Cape in South Africa where a good number of Malaysians dwell, and whom originated this recipe.
