Savourydiary | Recipe Roti Kirai & Chicken Curry

Hi Savouries!

Today I will be sharing with you Roti Kirai, one of Malay traditional food, which is best paired with curry. For today, I will be sharing with you Chicken Curry recipe which I cooked with carrots and potatoes. My chicken curry recipe came about when accidents happen in the kitchen or when my stocks are running quite low. 

But in-syaa-allah(if gods willing), it will taste nice and to your liking as well!

My roti kirai recipe will in-syaa-allah be easy for you to follow and also, stay soft till your sahur.

So, lets go!

Recipes are below.

INGREDIENTS 

• 3 cups of self raising flour or plain flour
• 3 cups of coconut milk with water ( 1 box of coconut milk and additional cups is water )
• 3 tbp of cooking oil ( this will make the kirai process smoother hence easier for us )
• 1 tsp of salt
• 1 egg
• A bit of yellow food coloring ( I used egg yolk flavor) or turmeric powder

WHAT TO DO

• Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl
• Blend the mixture and pour through a sieve to remove any lumpy substance so that your kirai equipment will not be stuck
• Heat your pan on medium heat and coat a thin layer of butter or cooking oil
• Start kirai-ing
• Once the mixture starts to change color, it is cook
• Remove and start folding or rolling them to your liking!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 Red Onion
• 5 clove Garlic
• Ginger (about the size of your pinky finger)
• 5 tbs of Fish Curry Powder
• 2 Chicken Cube
• 2 Cinnamon Stick
• 3 Star Anise
• 1 box of coconut milk
• 1 whole Chicken
• 2 potatoes 
• 1 carrot

WHAT TO DO

1. Firstly, cut your chicken into smaller pieces. Trim all those chicken fats.
2. Soak them in salt and tamarind (be generous). This will remove all those slime and sticky-ness from the chicken. (Macam cuci ayam dengan sabun yer. )
3. Heat pan with about 5tbp of cooking oil.
4. Finely slice onions, garlic and ginger.
5. Saute the sliced ingredients till soften
6. Add on cinnamon stick and star anise till fragrant
7. Pour in fish curry powder ( yes, i use fish curry powder by accident. also, when i realized, i searched for chicken curry powder only to realize i ran out of stocks. so its okay because then you don't have to add on tamarind juice. )
8. Once its fried and fragrant ( bahan-bahan dah garing ye tuan tuan dan puan puan)
9. (rinse your chicken with water removing the salt and tamarind substance) 
10. Put in your chicken and chicken stocks.Mix and let it simmer for a while. (Let the chicken cooked a little - macam suku masak)
11. Add in your pieces of potatoes and carrots (nak besar ke kecil ke, terpulang. ) 
12. Add on coconut milk and water (water to should be level with your ingredients) and let it boil till chicken is fully cooked and potatoes and carrots are soft
13. Food is READY!

Often, Roti Kirai is served with any curry dish be it, Chicken Curry or Beef Curry.

Minced, diced, chunks.

Also, mak mak dan nenek nenek will serve this dish with this green salad with hard boiled egg. 

All three (Roti kirai, curry and salad) pairs well together.

What I did?

I took pieces of lettuce, cut hard boiled eggs into slices and pour chilli and tomato sauce.

This is so good! Salads are meant to be easy,yes? But, I am certain and sure mak mak and nenek nenek do have recipe for this salad sauce. But,whatever feeds the hungry tummy yes?

This, I could say is as good. hehe.

Of course, there's not much rule to cooking as long as it is nice to the one eating it. As the saying goes, you can't please everybody. so.... please yourself. (kalau sedap dan kene kat tekak, makan je ok?)

Also, this salad is so versatile. You can also add on cucumber or tomatoes or whatever that suits your liking.
