Some cooked with basic sambal base gravy and tomato ketchup added . Others with cinnamon stick and star anijs added to it. : : But nothing compare to mom's version of this legendary Malay dish : Pieces of chicken are first fried to a golden brown then slowly braised in a thick chile spike tomato gravy which already mixed with grounded lemongrass , galangal , ginger , onions ,garlic and chilly . Peas & onion rings are sometimes added to the dish. Shredded kaffir lime leaves or corriandor are optional for garnishing. : Adding fragant pandan leaves , a perennial grass with an intoxicating vanilla like aroma, bring a floral dimension to this dish. Often paired with Nasi Tomato ( Tomato Rice) or Nasi Minyak ( Ghee Rice). Simply divine.. : : #deresidentialkitchen #malaycookingnl #ayammasakmerah #chickenwings #malaysiancooking #singaporecooking #homecooked #privatechef #foodporn #foodblogger #foodiegram #makansedap #homemade #resepi #recipes #100likes #1000followers #followfood #followme #yummy (at de Residential Kitchen)
