Singapore Curry Chicken
This is so often cooked in our house, I don’t even think we need to have a recipe. But I’d just document a standard version here just in case it is ever needed.
My mom cooks this at least twice a month, so did my dad, so did my mother-in-law. It is like the standard go to dish for everyone. We have it at picnics, at BBQ, at parties, at the Chinese, Malay and Indian hawker stalls… We eat it with french loaves, roti prata, rice, noodles, fried fritters and buns. We eat it almost everyday!!!
Here’s how I would cook it. This is our recipe.
