A simplified version of a dish unique to my community - the Portuguese descended Eurasians of Singapore. The original dish is called Curry Debal or Devil Curry in English and is so HOT it can nuke your brain. This version is very much milder but remains true to the flavour and character of the original.
Ingredients
- 3 large whole chicken legs- deboned and skinned, cut into bite size chunks shopping list
- 150 gm smoked bacon cut offs with bone in, cut into bite size chunks a bit smaller than the chicken shopping list
- ~~~~~~~~~~ MARINATING INGREDIENTS ~~~~~~~~~~ shopping list
- 2 tbs light soya sauce shopping list
- Half tsp white pepper shopping list
- 1 level tsp sugar shopping list
- ~~~~~~~~~~ spices FOR FRYING ~~~~~~~~~~ shopping list
- 4 fresh red chilis - discard seeds and slice thinly on a slant shopping list
- 3 small red onions - slice thinly shopping list
- 2 inch piece ginger- scrape and cut into very fine julienne shopping list
- 1 level tbs toasted and ground brown mustard seeds shopping list
- ~~~~~~~~~~ seasoningS ~~~~~~~~~~ shopping list
- Half level tsp salt shopping list
- 1 level tsp sugar shopping list
- 2 tbs white vinegar (white wine vinegar is not suitable) shopping list
How to make it
- Combine chicken chunks with marinating ingredients and mix well. Set aside
- Heat 2 tbs oil in a wok or pan and when really hot, brown the chicken on high heat. Remove chicken from pan (leaving oil behind) and set aside.
- Add another 2 tbs oil to pan and when hot, fry onion till limp before adding ginger and chili. When fragrant, add ground mustard seeds and stir for a few more minutes.
- Return chicken to the pan together with bacon chunks. Mix well and stir for a minute then add 1 cup water. Bring to the boil then lower heat and simmer till chicken and bacon are tender.
- Add seasonings adjust if necessary, to your taste. Serve with steamed white rice or chunks of crusty baguette. Great with beer *grin*
