Nyonya Curry Chicken

Nyonya Curry Chicken

This Malaysian Curry Chicken is a rich, aromatic dish bursting with bold flavors and creamy coconut goodness. Tender chicken legs, marinated in zesty lemon juice, are stir-fried with fragrant ginger, garlic, and onions before being simmered in a luscious Malaysian curry sauce. Hearty potatoes and carrots soak up the savory broth, while coconut milk and rock sugar add a perfect balance of sweetness and depth. The result? A velvety, spiced curry that’s both comforting and exotic. Serve it over steamed rice for a complete, satisfying meal that’s quick to prepare yet tastes like it’s been slow-cooked for hours. Perfect for weeknight dinners or impressing guests with its authentic Southeast Asian flair!
