  1. Well, I was looking for the malaysian chicken from a local restaurant here so I tried this. It was pretty bland and really needed something. I ended up adding 2 tbl. of brown sugar and 2 tbl. of fish sauce to enhance the taste and it turned out really good. We topped with mango chutney, crushed peanuts and shredded coconut. Based on the previous review I thought it was worth mentioning that my curry powder has star anise, cinnamon, ginger, garlic and cardamon already in it. Thanks, we'll make it again.
     
  2. for a real chicken curry you need to add crush ginger, cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamon, more onion and garlic (step 5). Do not boil potato. Add it to the gravy before chicken and coconut milk. Add water to patato and cook till tender. To make it more tastier add 3 tbs of coconut paste. Try it and you can taste the difference.
