Gulai Ayam
Gulai Ayam is a delicious Indonesian dish made with chicken cooked in a flavorful, aromatic curry-like sauce. It’s often enjoyed with steamed rice and is popular throughout Indonesia. The sauce is typically made using a combination of various spices like turmeric, coriander, ginger, lemongrass, and coconut milk, which gives it a rich and creamy texture. The chicken is simmered in the sauce until tender and infused with all the flavors.
Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken cut into pieces
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 inches fresh ginger grated
- 2 stalks lemongrass bruised
- 2 tablespoons ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons tamarind paste (optional, for tanginess)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and bruised lemongrass stalks. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant.
- In a small bowl, mix together the ground coriander, turmeric, cumin, and chili powder. Add this spice mixture to the pot and stir well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides for a few minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, and season with salt. Stir everything together.
- Cover the pot and let the Gulai Ayam simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
