Ayam Moolie aka Chicken in Coconut Gravy



This dish you use fish (white fish fillet).  Since I don't have fish, I used chicken.

Ingredients:
6~8 chicken wings/drumstick
8 shallots
3 red fresh chilies
1 stem lemongrass ~ bruised
250ml (1 cup) thin coconut milk
125ml (½ cup) coconut cream
2 slices dried garcinia (asam keping)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp turmeric powder

Directions:
  1. Grind shallots & chilies to a paste in a spice grinder or mortar & pestle.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan & add the paste.   Stir-fry over low-medium heat for about 4 minutes.
  3. Slowly stir in the thin coconut milk & add turmeric powder, then add lemongrass, asam gelugor (asam keping) & salt to taste.
  4. Bring to boil & stir constantly.   Add salt & simmer gently until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add the coconut cream & stir gently until the sauce thickens.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl & serve with white rice.
