They\u2019re really easy to prepare, with short cooking times of around 35 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t done this too much now here in Singapore, but gave it a go on Thursday evening. Here\u2019s a picture of the outcome.<\/p>\n<p>What you need: Brahim\u2019s curry sauce (there\u2019re many types available), around 110 grams of chicken meat per person, fresh mushrooms, carrots and potatoes. The total ingredient cost should be around $8 to $9 for two persons. Here\u2019s how I do it:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cut the chicken into smaller pieces, and fry at medium heat for around 5 minutes with light seasoning.<\/li>\n<li>Pour the contents of the sauce package into a sauce pan with the chicken in it. Add water until it reasonably covers the chicken pieces.<\/li>\n<li>Put it at medium heat, stirring occasionally for around 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Add sliced carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. At medium heat, it should take around 20, 15 and 10 minutes for carrots, potatoes and mushrooms to cook reasonably.<\/li>\n<li>Cook until the gravy is of the concentration you like, e.g. less or more watery. Ling likes the watery kind of gravy while I prefer the opposite.<\/li>\n<li>Throw in garnishing. Basil leaves &#8211; yummy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Serve, eat and get fat! <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"https:\/\/chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicken Rendang Curry @ Home While I was in Australia, one of my favourite dinner menu items was curry using prepared paste, for example using Brahim\u2019s simmer sauces.
