Happy New Year Ladies & Gents! May 2018 be the start of beautiful, wonderful and meaningful things in your life.
The recipe I am sharing with you for this post is a nice hearty bowl of goodness ideally for a cold night like tonight. It is relatively simple but packs a punch. My specialty.
Step 1: Chicken Drumsticks
Boil the drumsticks for 30 mins in cold water. You want the water to be 2inches above the chicken drumsticks. Add onions and seasonings of your choice. My seasonings of choice when boiling chicken is always 2 tablespoons of each of these seasonings: curry, onion power, salt, pepper, thyme, ground thyme, cumin.
Step 2: Rice
Pour 2 cups of rice into your pot with 2 cups of water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Let your rice boil on med-high for 20 mins.
Step 3: Indonesian Curry Sauce
The shortcut here is to use a pre-made sauce from your local asian supermarket that says "Indonesian Curry" and simply warm the contents up and pour over the rice. However, if you want to make your sauce from scratch, you will need to purchase Curry powder that is specificed to be from Indonesia. (You can get this at your local health food store). Mix 4 tablespoons of indonesian curry with 1teaspoon of each: salt, pepper, onion powder and thyme. Set aside. You will pour 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into a Wok (or similar pot) and slowly stir in your seasoning curry mix. Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Plating
First, pour a serving spoon full of your curry sauce into the bowl. Next scoop in 2 (or more) serving spoonfuls of rice. Place a chicken drumstick on top of the rice and garnish with Parsley leafs.
Now you are all done and you have the perfect comfort meal for a chilly day.
