Malay Spicy Tomato Chicken

Malay Spicy Tomato Chicken is a classic Malay dish where chicken is seared and braised in a thick, spicy, and sweet sauce. The chicken is first marinated in a mixture of salt, turmeric powder, and pepper. Then, the shallots, ginger, garlic, and chili are milled together.

Next, the chicken is pan-fried in oil until golden brown. Some of the oil is removed, and the milled ingredients, dry spices, and sliced onion are sautéed until translucent. The rest of the ingredients, including tomato ketchup, coconut milk, water, salt, sugar, and frozen mixed vegetables, are added to the wok. The chicken is then added back to the wok, and the dish is cooked until the gravy reduces and the chicken is cooked through.

Malay Spicy Tomato Chicken is typically served with rice and a side of vegetables. It is a popular dish for both special occasions and everyday meals. The dish is also relatively easy to make, and it can be customized to your liking. For example, you can add more or less chili depending on your desired level of spiciness. You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers.
