OTHER INGREDIENTS

First step is to measure out all the dry spices in separate little piles. Then chop the onions and garlic up, fry them in a large skillet with a little vegetable oil. After the onion is soft, add the fenugreek and bay leaves and cook for 1 minute. Then add the rest of the dry spices, the salt, and the vinegar. Mix the spices well with the onion bits - add a little water if the mixture seems too dry. Then add the chicken pieces and brown them, turning frequently to coat them with the spice mixture. Finally, transfer everything to a large stock pot, add the canned tomatoes, coconut milk, tomato paste and lemon grass. Simmer for 45min - 1 hr. ++Jon Dart, jdart@...
