Ingredients:
1.5kg chicken portions (drumsticks or thighs)
1 1/2 tsp hot chilli powder
4 tbsp fish sauce
8 onions, sliced thinly
4 garlic cloves, crushed
150ml vegetable oil
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp salt
Method:
Wash the chicken, pat dry and cut into pieces. In a bowl, mix together the salt, fish sauce and ground turmeric. Add the chicken, toss to coat and set aside to marinate.
Heat a little of the oil in a wok. Add the onion slices and fry until golden brown, then take off the heat and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli powder. Stir-fry for a few seconds until fragrant, then add the chicken pieces along with their marinade. Stir fry to mix then add 750ml water and the fried onions.
Cover the wok and cook the meat until tender (about 40 minutes). At this point, stir in the curry powder and mix well to combine. Take the wok off the heat and serve immediately accompanied by rice or bread.
