Leg // thigh // cut up breast

Curry topped with bawang goreng (fried onion). The rectangle extras are a yummy soy cake, marinated in garlic, water, salt and fried in canola oil (tempe).
This dish is one of those "happy place" dishes that take you back to a certain time or connects you to your people, for me, my Indonesian family taught me this recipe and whenever I eat it, it reminds me of good times and full tummies π
Ps. Spice is easily adjustable by halving the chillis used :) good tip, to turn down the heat of a chilli, scrape out the seeds before use! πΆ
