Mum's Curry Chicken

A dish of curry chicken using my mum's curry paste. Like most mothers, mine also does not weigh her ingredients - its all based on experience.

What's in the paste: fresh tumeric, galangah, dried chilli, shallots, dried shrimps, garlic and lemon grass.

The curry:
[1] Brown potatoes and 6 chicken drumlets in vegetable oil and remove from pan.
[2] Remove excess oil and stir-fry 1 tablespoon of curry paste till fragrance.
[3] Stir in potatoes and chicken drumlets and fry for a few minutes.
[4] Add about 350 ml of coconut milk OR the same quantity of low fat evaporated milk.
[5] Bring to a boil and simmer gently for about 25 minutes.
[6] Add light soy sauce to taste.

Banana Walnut Cake

Another loaf of Banana Walnut Cake - my favourite! and the kind of cake which I would love to perfect it.

55g unsalted butter (I used vegetable oil)
1 egg
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
3ml vanilla essence

Ingredients B
125g plain flour
2g baking soda
2g salt
30g walnuts (chopped)

[1] Whisked ingredients A and set aside.
[2] Sieve ingredients B

There you have it. I took 10 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake in a 190 degrees oven.
