I know what you’re thinking – do we really need a recipe for Chicken Curry? And my resounding answer will be yes, you need THIS recipe. This recipe is a part of my collaboration with the Batu Lesung Spice Co., an online boutique spice paste retailer. Last week, I had shown you guys how to make a mean Rendang Hummus with their spice pastes, so this week I decided to go the route of more traditional food by using the spice paste for what it’s meant: making curry.
This Chicken Curry paste was everything Chicken Curry is meant to be. I mean, I grew up eating Chicken Curry (at a certain point in my childhood, there was Chicken Curry every weekend – it was torture), so I know what a mean Chicken Curry should taste like. I have to say this Chicken Curry paste ticked all the boxes and then some. And what I absolutely love about it is that its such a breeze to cook with! Chicken curry in practically under 30mins, inclusive of the chopping and the washing up – kitchen mischief managed, I’d say!

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp of Olive Oil
- 1 Medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 Potato, cubed
- 1 200g Chicken Breast, cubed
- 3 Tbsp of Batu Lesung Chicken Curry Paste
- 100 ml of Coconut Milk
- Salt to taste
Method
- In a pan, heat up the oil. Then, add the onion and potatoes. Cook until the onions are softened and the potatoes are slightly burnt around the edges. Add the chicken, curry paste, and then the coconut milk. Cover and let it simmer. If you’d like you curry to be more wet (more gravy), you can add some chicken stock, fresh yoghurt or fresh milk.
Batu Lesung has a delicious range of spice pastes that are all homemade, with no preservatives, while this reduces the shelf life of the pastes, the quality of the finished product is more than amazing. You can buy the spice pastes from their website, at www.batulesungspicecompany.com.
