Iron Chef Aw

My uncle decided to cook "chicken varuva" to for lunch. He enlisted me to help him prepare the necessary ingredients.


Take some cardamon, clove, star anise, black pepper, cumin, anise, mustard hazelnuts...


Soak some dried chilli in a bowl of water...dice it up to add into the curry later on...


Dice up some shallots and garlic...dice up as much as you want...


Dice up some coriander...


Add some curry leaves...


For you city folks out there...this is a curry leave plant...


Fry all the spices until fragrant...then add in the chicken...


Add some tomatos if you like...some soy sauce and dark soy sauce to darken the dish. Add in as much curry and chilli powder as you like...a bit of water if you do not want the curry to be too dry.


wa-la...the finished dish...fantastic!!!


Cooking classes with Iron Chef Aw can be organised...please email me for bookings and rates :)

Chicken Varuva is my favourite Indian dish... Can have more specific ingredient list or not? Like exact amount of spices, and then how much chicken.

Kitchen dungus like me need more direction.

Thanks.
