Chet Glay Hin Burmese Chicken Curry
This is a great dish that my friend, tim in england, turned me on to.
Steps
Place the chicken on a tray.
Mix all the ground spices and salt together , and rub it into the chicken pieces.
Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile , puree the onion , garlic , ginger and chili.
When ready , heat the oil in a heavy pan until medium hot , and fry the chicken in batches until well coloured all over.
Set aside in a dish.
Add the pureed ingredients and fry over a high heat , stirring constantly until all the water has evaporated , and you can see the oil separate from the mass.
This should take about 5-10 minutes.
Add the curry leaves and fry for a minute.
Add the stock , return the chicken and any juices that have come out and bring to the boil.
Turn the heat way down to a bare simmer , and cover the pan , or else transfer the pan contents to a crockpot.
Simmer slowly for about 1 hour , or if in a crockpot , for up to 6 hours , but no more.
10 mins before serving , add fish sauce and lime juice to taste , about a tblsp of each is good.
Serve with steamed.
