Tean's Gourmet Malaysian Traditional Cuisine Tumisan Kari Ayam Paste for Chicken Curry (2 Pack) + One NineChef Spoon

Tean's Gourmet Malaysian Traditional Cuisine Tumisan Kari Ayam Paste for Chicken Curry (2 Pack) + One NineChef SpoonI usually buy some japanese curry bars to make curry at home. This is the first time to try this one. The instruction is very clear. Put the materials and the sauce in a pan (if you dont have a wok like me) and stir and fry them for 5 min. Add water and wait. Finally add coconut milk and it is ready.

Tean's Gourmet Malaysian Traditional Cuisine Tumisan Kari Ayam can help you make a comforting curry meal in 25 minutes. To cook, put one packet of paste with 1.5kg chicken pieces and 2 potatoes, mix and fry for 5 minutes under medium heat, add in 250ml to 500ml water and simmer under low heat for 15 minutes or until the meat and potatoes are cooked, add in 200ml coconut milk, stir well, bring to a quick boil, and serve. The paste is a deep red brick color that is very aromatic and inviting. When I added the water I elected to add the maximum 500ml water as I thought I would rather be on the safe side when boiling for 15 minutes as I did not want to run out of sauce. It was then that I saw how much oil was in the mix. I will note that I made 4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs and prior to adding the paste to my pan, I added only 1 tablespoon of oil to ensure the chicken did not stick. As I boiled the chicken for 15 minutes as the manufacturer instructed, I was amazed at how thick the layer of oil was as it sat on the top of the sauce. By the time I added 200ml of coconut milk, I knew I couldn't boil it or the coconut milk would break and add to the oil content. The finished sauce is delicious as it has prominent notes of ginger and curry but it is also on the thin side so you can dip roti into it if you have it. If not, it paired deliciously with rice but just was on the looser side. The one detail that I had not anticipated was how spicy hot it is. I love spicy hot food but sadly, my family are not fans and were unable to eat or enjoy the meal. We ended up ordering pizza for them as I didn't have anything else to cook in time. The ingredients include onion, soya oil, garlic, chili (7%), sugar, salt, curry powder, lemongrass flavour enhancer (monosodium glutamate E621), galangal, turmeric, ginger, curry leaves, thickener (modified corn starch E1414), and turmeric leaf. The manufacturer did note that the product may contain crustacean products. If you have an allergy to any or all of these foods, please be aware. There are 6 servings per packet with each 1 tablespoon serving including 110 Calories, 8g Total Fat, 7g Total Carbohydrate, and 2g Protein. The two 7oz packets included a tall silver spoon that says Nine Chef on the handle. This is a perfect ice tea or drink stirring spoon. It is a Product of Malaysia with a best by date of 19 months from the date that I received it. Overall, it is a tasty instant curry paste but only if you like spicy foods.
