Recipe's preparation

to make turmeric sticky rice

Describe the preparation steps of your recipe

soak washed rice in water mixed with ground turmeric and dried sour fruit slices overnight wash soaked rice in several changes of water, then drain combine coconut milk, peppercorns, salt and washed rice into a mixing bowl set aside for 1 hour for flavours to infuse

to make coconut milk

use a hammer to crack the mature coconuts outdoors

i do not reserve the coconut water

crack the coconuts into small chunks to allow the hard outer shell to fall off

discard the hard outer shells and reserve the chuncks of coconut flesh with the thin brown skin layer

give it a wash/ rinse

add half of the coconut flesh into the thermomix bowl and grate sp9/ 5-10secs

set aside and repeat with balance of batch

add first batch back into thermomix jug together with 500g water and blend sp9/ 10-15secs

pour coconut mixture into a nut bag and milk it

you should yield approx 500g of coconut milk

the leftovers in the nut bag is fresh dessicated coconut, to be used however you fancy - cakes, deserts, coconut slice....taste it, its delicious!

freshly made coconut milk only lasts in the fridge for 2-3days max

if you have excess, freeze them in jars

to make curry chicken

prepare rice by

either tipping it directly into the varoma dish, ensuring there is a hole in the middle for the steam to get through (you get a less sticky rice this way)

or putting the rice in ramekins, small chinese rice bowls or 1 shallow bowl that's large enough to hold all the rice and fits into the varoma dish (you get a stickier rice this way as when it cooks it retains the moisture in the bowl the rice is in)

place the turmeric, long green chillies and birds eye chillies into thermomix bowl and chop sp7/ 3secs

scrape down and chop again if required

add chicken pieces, coconut milk and stalks of lemongrass and place varoma on top, and cook 25mins/ varoma/ "Counter-clockwise operation" /"Gentle stir setting"

garnish the curry chicken with the finely sliced turmeric or vietnamese mint leaves and serve it up!

Tip

Taste the coconut milk you have made. Its delicious and totally different from the canned version. Try making it, its very easy to do!

The chicken curry is a very simple and delicious curry and taste just as good with normal steamed rice also.
