Those of us who like to entertain friends at home rather than in restaurants are always on the look out for dishes that can feed a crowd without too much trouble in the kitchen. Bakes and biriyanis are always a good idea coz the whole meal can revolve around just one dish. And once you hav that assembled you are ready to enjoy the evening without fretting with last minute cooking.
But if you want to stir up something that's slightly unusual, then think of serving "KHAU SWEY" the burmese dish of noodles and curry with an array of zesty toppings. All you need to do just before ur guests sit down to eat is to cook the noodles if the garnishes are prepared already!
Ingredients:
- 1 packet noodles
- 500 gm boneless chicken
- 1 onion grated
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup thick coconut milk
- 2 tbsp oil
Method:
Cut the chicken into neat dices. Heat the oil in a heavy pan, put in the ginger-garlic paste and the grated onion. Saute over a low flame till the raw smell disappears. Now put in the cumin and chilli powder, stir a bit and add the chicken. Saute the chicken for five minuts or so till the dices are coated with the spices. Add the stock, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer away till the chicken is tender. Finish with the coconut milk and set aside.
To serve, cook the noodles according to the instructions below. Place in bowls , ladle the curry sauce over the noodles and allow guests to garnish with the following:
- finely chopped onions fried to crisp
- fried noodles
- fish sauce
- lemon wedges
- chilli flakes
- chopped hard boiled eggs
- chopped green coriander
Prepare the garnishes ahead and serve in small bowls.
So here's a new recipe for the chicken lovers....how do u like it?
