Grilled Pandan Chicken

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

I made these on skewers for our BBQ party over the weekend and it’s really yummy! Here’s sharing with you my modified recipe – I used store-bought pandan leaves because my plant is still a little baby! Do let me know how this turns out!

Ingredients
2 chicken breast – skinned and cut into 2 inch chunks
Pandan leaves, for wrapping chicken (two leaves for each piece of chicken)
Toothpicks or skewers (pre-soaked to avoid sticking) to secure chicken pouches

Marinade
1 tsp salt
½ tbsp sugar
1 tsp tumeric powder
1 tbsp lemongrass paste (if stalks not available)
a few curry leaves (if available)
1 tbsp fish sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
50 ml coconut milk

I am ever so lucky to have my mom here. Walked into the kitchen today and found this! Yes! One of my favorites.

For the benefit others, curry puffs are like Samosa’s except the pastry is different. It is also commonly filled with curried potatoes with minced meat, or my mom’s favorite – shrimp.

My mom is also an adventurer when it comes to cooking. She fried some flour tortillas up once (see picture below) and wow. They taste great! Better with salsa! Yum.
