2 teaspoons all spice powder (2 dry roasted green and 1 black cardamom, 1 1-inch cinnamon stick, 5 cloves, 1 star anise and ground to a fine powder)
2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
2 teaspoons of salt
ingredients for cooking
2 onions
3 tomatoes
1 tablespoon of chickpea powder: fry in a dry pan until a lovely aroma is obtained.
500 ml coconut milk – you can use canned but it tastes better with freshly squeezed coconut milk.
1 lemon
finely chopped coriander leaves
Omelette Recipe
1 egg
1 teaspoon of chopped onions.
1/2 green pepper
1 teaspoon coriander leaves
Salt to taste
1 pinch of turmeric powder
Mix all the ingredients for the tortilla and make a thin tortilla and cut it into strips.
Coverages
Fried onions (made with 2 onions)
1 onion finely cut lengthwise
1 small bunch of coriander leaves
method
Wash and dry the chicken. And marinate the chicken and set aside for 1 hour.
In a deep frying pan, put oil and add 2 finely chopped onions. Once transparent, add the chicken and cook over low heat until softened. Add the finely chopped tomatoes and let them cook for another 5 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool for 5 minutes and then add the coconut milk, the power of the chickpeas and stir well.
Service
This goes well with rice and noodles. We like it with noodles.
Take a bowl, add some rice or noodles to the bottom. Then for the chicken sauce, freshly chopped onions, tortilla strips, fried onions and coriander leaves. Enjoy it while it’s hot!
Note:
For those who enjoy spicy food, there’s another twist.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add the finely chopped garlic. Once it releases its aroma, remove it from the heat and add a teaspoon of red chili powder.
A drizzle of this will give your Khow suey extra heat!
**Note: If the coconut milk is added when the flame is on, it will curdle, so it is best to add it once the flame is off.
