🤤 RECIPE:
Curry chicken varies around the world, from home to home. This easy curry poultry recipe has a splash of coconut milk to make it taste creamy and delicious. In Malaysia or Singapore, we serve it with rice but it is also delicious with bread.
This easy curry chicken is the standard curry chicken you will get in most restaurants in Malaysia and Singapore. Rich in coconut milk and spices, this curry chicken is a must try. As this chicken is marinated in curry paste before cooking enhances the taste of the meat itself.
### Can I use onions instead of shallots?
Yes, you may. Shallots are generally more intense in taste and they are also spicier compared to onions. The best substitute would be red onions. If you can’t find any, you may also opt for yellow onions.
### What type of curry powder to use?
In Malaysia and Singapore, you may find curry powders sold specifically for meat or seafood. In this recipe, meat curry powder is used. You may also substitute with any curry powder mixture which contains more chilli powder. Sometimes, dried curry leaves are also added to the curry powder mixture.
### Can candlenut be omitted?
Candlenuts are added to thicken the curry. You may remove it from this recipe if you prefer. Otherwise, substitute candlenuts with macadamia nuts.
### Milk or yoghurt to substitute coconut milk
In the Southeast Asian region, milk and yoghurt aren’t a common choice to be added into curries. Instead, coconut milk is often used since they grow abundantly locally. If you do not prefer coconut milk, you may opt to substitute it with 300 ml milk or 250 ml yoghurt. Do note that the taste will be different but it will not spoil the taste.
### Curry chicken in the slow cooker
Cooking this curry chicken recipe in a slow cooker is possible. Simply prepare the recipe in a slow cooker and cook the dish for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low for tender curry chicken.
