There are many recipes that I wanted to try and when I have said this, you should know of the long list I have bookmarked. I even have different folders created up of the recipes I intend to cook and bake. But sometimes at home, we just have 2 or 3 person so it is difficult to cook for a small portion of dish. So sometimes when I see a recipe which I intend to bake or cook, I usually have to calculate, reduce/half out the recipe to cook for small portion.
And today, my lunch is Curry Chicken with potatoes; and to go with Roti Jala instead of rice.
Curry Chicken With Potatoes
Ingredients
1 pack
curry paste (about 100gm)
300gm
chicken pieces
2-3
shallots
2-3
potatoes, cut into big pieces
1
tomatoes (optional)
1
lemongrass, white part and pounded slightly
2 tbsp
oil
150ml
water
100ml
coconut milk or fresh milk
Some curry
leaves
Method
Heat up a
sauce pan and add in oil. Saute the
shallots till fragrant and lightly brown.
Add in the curry paste and fry till aromatic.
Add in
the chicken pieces, lemongrass and curry leaves. Stir fry about 1 – 2 minutes before adding in
the water. Cover and lower the heat to
medium. Once the chicken gravy comes to
a boil, add in the potatoes and the tomato and simmer for about 20 minutes or till
the chicken becomes tender.
Pour the coconut

off the heat.

Roti Jala
(Net Crepes)
Ingredients
1 cup all
purpose flour
¾ cup
water
¼ cup
milk
1 egg
1/2 tsp
tumeric powder
Pinch of
salt
3 tbsp
oil
Method
Mix all
the ingredients together and combine till there is no lumps in the batter.
Sieve the
batter and pour into the “Roti Jala mould”. (I used the Japanese Mayo plastic bottle.
Place a
non stick frying pan over medium heat.
Squeeze
out the batter in vertical and horizontal over to the pan. Once you see the batter is cooked, quickly
fold the crepe and roll it up.
Repeat
the process till the batter is finished up.
Mel, the curry chicken looks so delicious. And your roti jala is so neatly done. Myself also when trying a recipe for the first time, I will make a mess too. And not only that, I tend to panic. Usually my first time is not so successful but second time it gets better :)
ReplyDeleteHi, girl, aiyoh, why you made such a good dish to tempt me, I can't eat chilli lah, hahaha! Your roti jala looks very neatly cooked! Yum yum! Make me feel so hungry now!

ReplyDeleteHi Mel, your roti jala and curry chicken look extremely delicious. Your roti jala look so neat and beautiful. Well done!! The last time I made it look more like a broken fishing net. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.

ReplyDeleteI like curry... and this is so mouth-watering... but as I'm the only in the family who like it, I hardly cook curry at home :(
ReplyDeleteWill I be invited to your place next time you cook this? :)
Mel, your roti jala looks so beautiful and neatly folded. Early this year I bought a roti jala mould from Malaysia but till today I still haven't have the chance to make it yet.
ReplyDeletehehe...glad to know I'm not the only one who is making a mess in the kitchen. But as you said, as long as we enjoy what we do, it's all worth the clean up (most of the time, hahaha....) Your Curry Chicken dish looks perfect. I've never tried a Roti Jala before. So beautiful. I think I'll have to try that soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely delicious meal! I love curries that are more aromatic than spicy (as in loaded with too many different spices). Your chicken curry looks so delicious and roti jala is something I would love to try to make. I thought a special contraption was needed to make them. They look so perfectly uniform.
ReplyDeleteyou also bought the mayo bottle, nice roti jala and curry chicken you have here..I noticed you put up recipe on the top page, going to check how you did ^_^
ReplyDeletei have never tried that before. it sure looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken looks so delicious and I've seen roti jala before (but never in person) and I'm very fascinated with the net!!! What a perfect meal Mel!!
