INDIAN RECIPE : How to make Delicious South India Chicken Korma (NON SPICY)

Simply Enak - Malaysian Food, Culture and Heritage 2021-06-27 | A mini series recipe that we at Simply Enak are creating to celebrate the diversity of food and ingredients driven by the mixed culture in Malaysia.

Dish : Chicken Korma (non spicy)

Influence : South India / Tamil

Korma is a dish that originated from the Indian subcontinent. It usually consist of meat or vegetables that are braised in cream/yogurt. In Malaysia, the Indian population is the 3rd largest group, after Malay and Chinese.

We did some slight changes to the chicken korma recipe by removing chili and chili powder - making it more CHILD FRIENDLY. Hence, this is a non spicy, chili free dish that everyone can try. It is still delicious!

Hope you enjoy this south Indian chicken korma recipe. For other chicken recipe as mentioned in this video, please refer to the link below :

MCO Day #2 LAP CHEONG (SMOKED CHINESE SAUSAGE), PORK LOIN, KAI LAN SPAGHETTI

Simply Enak - Malaysian Food, Culture and Heritage 2020-04-04 | Decided to make an asian version pasta. Instead of using chorizo, we substitute it with Lap Cheong - which is a cured/smoked Chinese sausage. It is rather sweet but packed with flavours. Recipe as below :

Ingredients: pork lion, lap cheong (cured/smoked chinese sausage) in replacement of chorizo, garlic, kai lan, chili (both dried and fresh) and chinese celery, oil, pepper salt and pasta

Prep:
1. Finely chop garlic, chili, chinese celery.
2. Cut kai lan into desirable size
3. Slice pork lion into thin slices and marinate with salt.
4. Slice lap cheong into small slices at an angle.
Cooking
1. Boil water to cook pasta (timing according to the instruction given on the box). I tend to take them out 1 min earlier than suggested.
2. One a seperate pan, heat up some oil.
3. Sear the lap cheong and let it release the oil and flavour.
4. Add in chili and garlic. Saute until golden brown.
5. Add in kai lan and toss together.
6. When pasta is done boiling, tranfer into pot with a bit of the pasta water. Give it a good mix.
7. Season to taste.
8. Pasta ala lap cheong, pork lion and kai lan - done.

Enjoy guys.
