Java Chicken is a modern Fusion recipe for a classic chicken stew/curry that's flavoured with south-east Asian spices and cooked in coconut milk. The full recipe is presented here and I hope you enjoy this classic Fusion version of: Java Chicken.
Joint the chicken and cut into serving pieces. Mix the nuts, chilli, coriander, galangal, garlic and turmeric and pound to a paste in a pestle and mortar (add some oil if necessary). Rub this mixture over the chicken and allow to marinate for at least two hours.
When the chicken has marinated heat the remaining oil in a wok and fry the onion until golden then add the chicken pieces and fry until well browned. Gradually add the coconut milk, stirring all the while, and bring to the boil. Add the lemongrass and cassia then turn down to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes. Stir-in the lemon juice, season with salt and serve with Thai Jasmine rice.
