奶油鸡 (Butter Chicken)

Today, we have a guest come to my house to have dinner. And, we decided prepare one dish per person. So, I have cooked this dish called 奶油鸡. Actually, it is a recipe of 奶油虾 (butter prawn), but i changed it to chicken. I think some of the food stores in Malaysia also have this dish.



Here is my recipe:
Ingredients:
1. Half chicken - cut into small pieces
2. 2 tbsp butter
3. 1/2 cup of desiccated coconut
4. 2 green chillies (chilli padi is the best choice) - cut into slices
5. 1/3 cup of evaporated milk
6. Curry leaves (taste better but optional)

Methods:
1. Marinated chicken with salt, light soy sauce, sesame oil and white pepper powder for 2 hrs
2. Then, mix 2 teaspoon of cornflour into the chicken.
3. Bake the chicken at 190 degree C for 30-45 mins until golden brown. (Remember to turn over the chicken on the half way so that it is cooked thoroughly). Another way to cook the chicken is deep fry, but i preferred bake because deep fry is too oily...)
4. Once, chicken is cooked. Prepare and heat a wok.
5. Melt butter in the wok, and add in desiccated coconut and fry for a min.
6. Next, add in green chillies (and curry leaves), fry for 1-2 mins.
7. Add chicken and some salt into wok and fry for a min, then pour in evaporated milk.
8. Now, fry till all the evaporated milk evaporated and it is done!

N.B. If u use prawns, then boil or fry or deep fry the prawns instead of bake.

*Have a nice try!*
