Chef Celine shares with us her delicious Devil Curry. Slurp!


"To devil means to put mustard in it"




Ingredients

1kg chicken
1 tsp soy sauce
3 Tbs vinegar
Blend into paste:
1 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
30 shallots, peeled
3 cloves of garlic, peeled
6 candlenuts
3 stalks lemongrass
30 g. galangal, peeled
¼ tsp turmeric powder
20 dried chillies presoaked or 2 tbsp chilli powder

½ kg roast beef (optional)
1 Tbs tamarind pulp
½ cup water
½ cup oil
30 g. young ginger, julienned
2 onions, peeled and quartered
4 fresh red chillies, slit with stalks retained
1 tsp mustard seeds
6 potatoes, peeled and quartered

Optional:
6 whole cabbage leaves
20 french beans
salt and sugar to taste


Serves...
3 - 4
 

Wonderful dish with a hint of tanginess, perfect with a side of white rice



Method

Cut chicken into large pieces and marinate with thick soy sauce, 1 tbsp of the vinegar and 2tsp of the blended paste. Set aside for 20mins.

If using roast beef, cut it into bite-size pieces and set aside. Soak tamaring pulp in ½ cup water and extract 1tbsp of the juice.

Heat oil in a tezaler(this is a traditional earthen pot, you can also use a wok). Put strips of ginger; fry till golden brown and remove. Next, sauté onions for 30sec and remove. Then sauté the red chillies and remove.

Put mustard seeds into the same pot. Cover until seeds stop popping. Add remaining paste and fry until the oil floats to the top.

Drain marinade from the chicken pieces and add marinate gradually to fried paste in the pot, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Add chicken and potatoes and toss to coat well with paste. Add 1tbsp of the tamarind juice and enough water to cover chicken.

Boil rapidly for 10mins then lower heat. If using cabbage and French beans add them in now. Simmer until vegetables are done and chicken is tender; then stir in remaining 2 tbsp of vinegar.

If using roast beef add it now followed by the fried ginger, onions, and chillies that were fried at the start.

This dish will taste better if kept overnight before serving.
