Hi there, this curry recipe looks lovely and very different from my one which is of Indian origin – from my ma in law in fact. Thought you might like to take a look at mine which I have called ‘Amma’s Chicken curry’ and can be found on my blog. Take care Torie

[...] a more complete recipe from scratch, the page at rasamalaysia.com looks quite authentic. But I think the idea is perhaps to keep this simple and then vary it according to your taste. [...]

“Shallots” can mean different things in different countries, and different cities too (eg Melbourne and Sydney) for that matter.

In the case of this kapitan recipe, does “shallots” mean those little purple “eschalots” or the long thin spring onion type of shallot?

Also, there is something bitter going on in my paste . . . could this be the lemongrass I mistakenly blended or perhaps the combination of red onion and spring onions I used in lieu of shallots?

It’s not in the recipe, it’s for the photography.

Mei – Google translate or any of those online translation tool is a JOKE. I don’t know how write their programs, obviously, not someone who is proficient in Chinese.

Hi Mark,

The google’s translation really tickled my funny bone….:-D

1.5 lb boneless chicken thigh and/or breast (cut into small cubes/pieces)]
—> 1.5磅去骨鸡大腿和/或乳腺癌（切成小方块/件）

乳腺癌 = breast cancer!!!! imagine the reaction you get from the shop assistant….

what you need is ..鸡胸肉

Also, lemon grass is known as 香茅 in chinese, not 柠檬草..

shallots = 红葱头/小红洋葱
candlenuts = 石栗
kaffir lime leaves = 青柠叶/泰国柠檬叶
(the 石灰 in google’s translation means cement ^.^|| you dont really need cement in your cooking :-D)
lime juice = 酸橙汁 (橙 = orange; 酸橙 = lime)

Hope this helps :)
