I used pandan essence and regular French bay leaf and lemon juice instead of lime leaves and some other spices, but I like the final product, even if it's not exactly what it was supposed to be. It's been a long time since I've had anything South East Asian, and I was looking for a simple recipe, and your post was just in time :-).

Fresh turmeric is easily available in local supermarkets and wet markets.<br /><br />Turmeric leaves are only available from some vegetable sellers at wet markets but any Malay grocer in a wet market will have all the herbs required. The best places to seek them out are Geylang Serai Market or Tekka Market at Blk 665 Buffalo Rd in Little India. <br /><br />I don't recommend dried Indian bay as a substitute because the flavour and aroma are quite different. If you really can't find the herbs, I suggest omitting them and using 3 or 4 knotted pandan leaves and 1 or 2 extra lemongrass stalks. Hope this info helps. If you still have any difficulties, please let me know :)denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-46093687129520865472013-06-10T11:45:29.101+08:002013-06-10T11:45:29.101+08:00Hi Denise, Can I find fresh turmeric and turmeric ...Hi Denise, Can I find fresh turmeric and turmeric leaves in the stores here? Maybe I can use the Indian turmeric powder in the place of fresh turmeric, but what about turmeric leaves? And can I use the dried version of Indian bay leaves instead of fresh Indonesian ones? Or where do I get fresh bay leaves?Sangeeta Madhavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07712006933505154522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-67206633369841311322013-06-06T18:48:34.966+08:002013-06-06T18:48:34.966+08:00Denise I spoke too soon.

Luckily I gave him both names for it. Anyway hubby and I are off work today so I sent him shopping as I know he loves rummaging around at the Asian superstore and showing off to the cashiers his knowledge of Asian food *rolls eyes in air*. Got pandan leaves too that I bought again recently and froze them. Thanks for the tip about the sweet basil and for thickening the gravy a là rendang. Haha yes my husband can't live without his sambal belacan. Actually I have to say although he's French and I introduced him to sambals, my husband's grandmother is originally from the French Reunion Islands and curries are their staple food there so he's no stranger to them. Btw we tried your Easy Peasy Bryani last week and it was really easy peasy good!<br />Have a nice weekend too Denise.

Oh, I'm so glad you're familiar...Hi Jean! <br /><br />Oh, I'm so glad you're familiar with this dish! I love it too, though I never had it before meeting my husband. It's so fragrant, that cooking it is like an aromatherapy session in the kitchen LOL The consistency of the gravy is entirely up to you. In fact, if you cook it over a very low flame once the chicken has gone it, you can actually forego the water and you'll end up with a thick coating gravy which would make this kinda like a quick and easy chicken rendang. Hope you manage to get a substitute for the lengkuas though I can't think what would be similar to lengkuas except for something even more exotic like lesser galangal (temu kunci or finger root). If you can find fresh pandan, or Asian or even sweet basil, they would make nice additions to the curry too, though of course they're not really like galangal. Haha! I can completely understand your husband's sambal belacan fixation ;) Cheers, my dear! Hope you have a fantastic weekend!denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-91201483209322972122013-06-06T15:17:30.431+08:002013-06-06T15:17:30.431+08:00Hi Denise!

Except for the Indonesian bay leaves & lengkuas I think I can get all the ingredients at our Asian supermarket. I'll ask around for an alternative to lengkuas. I know my hubby's not too fond of fan of watery curries like this but who cares. I love it so he'll have to be content with his beloved sambal belacan on the side. Cheers Denise! :)jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630037464713499987noreply@blogger.com
