• 1.5kg chicken
• 1 tsp salt
• 200ml thick coconut milk

Ground spices
• 200g shallots
• 4 cloves garlic
• 3 stalks lemon grass
• 20g galangal
• 15g ginger
• 20g fresh turmeric
• 120g fresh red chillies
• 1 tsp white peppercorns
• 1 tsp cumin
• 2 tsp fennel

Seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• ½ tsp monosodium glutamate






Method
Chop the chicken into 4 quarter pieces and score a few diagonal cuts on each piece. Rub with salt.

Combine coconut milk with the ground spice ingredients in a saucepan over a medium low heat. Bring to a low simmering boil. Add seasoning.

Dish out and combine with the chicken pieces. Leave aside to marinate for at least 1-2 hours.

Grill the chicken pieces (for an authentic taste, grill over burning embers) and brush with remaining marinade when grilling, until meat is cooked through and lightly browned.
