Instructions:
Instructions: Whizz all the ingredients for the rempah together adding just enough of the water to make a paste.

Beat the oil in a large ovento hobcasserole then add the chicken and quickly brown it on all sides you will probably need to do this in two batches.

Use the simmering plate if the boiling plateis too hot.

Add the turmeric tossing the chicken pieces in the oil as you return them to the pan so that they are all evenly coloured.

Stir in the rempah the remaining water the lemon grass lime leaves and sugar. Bring to the boil then cover and cook on the floor of the simmering ovenfor 2 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Stir the coconut milk into the chicken then heat it slowly on the simmering plate.

Add any seasonings that are necessary then serve perhaps with noodles and stir fried vegetables.

Singapore style cookery has been a new discovery for me but it ties in with the flavours of the Pacific Rim which are now so popular A rempah is a spicy mixture rather like a curry paste. If you cant get fresh galangal root use 1 tsp of dried or fresh ginger root galangal is best described as a hot sour ginger
