Have all your ingredients ready. First, Halve your dried chillies, shake off seeds. Place in a cup, then soak in hot water to soften. Clean chicken and cut into small bite.

TIPS - Pic below:
1. Coconut Cream - AYAM BRAND coconut cream contains no gum or additional ingredients. It tastes great compared to other brands of coconut milk or cream. Check label (ingredients) before buying any types of coconut milk and cream.

2. Dried chillies - Less wrinkly, Dried big/long chillies are less spicy.

Next, prepare your curry paste (A) 👉🏻 blend softened (dried) chillies with the rest of the ingredients in A into a very fine paste (use 1/4 cup of water to blend A into a very fine paste). Keep aside. Peel and cut potatoes into bite-size chunks. Place potatoes in a pot and add 1 cup of water (see pic). Boil cut potatoes for 5mins. Remove from the stove & set aside. (Drain the water. This step is to ensure potatoes is cooked faster when added to the chicken later).

Alternatively, you can skip boiling the potatoes. Instead you can add potatoes and chicken at the same time.

If you add potatoes and chicken at the same time, skip step 2 for potatoes (boiling potatoes) & step 5.

Heat 1/3 cup of oil in a wok or deep large pan. Add curry paste (A) into hot oil and cook for 5-7mins or until fragrant. Add chicken, stir, cover the wok and cook over medium high for another 5mins.

Remove the lid, add potatoes and 1/3 cup of water. Cook over medium high, continue to Stir every now and then.

Note: Avoid adding too much of water so you don't end up with thin and watery curry. Always Start with small amount because remember that you have to add coconut cream later too.

Add kefir lime leaves, tamarind peels and C (seasonings). Stir to mix. Cover with the lid again and continue to cook for another 10mins or until chicken is cooked through. Stir occasionally.

Add coconut milk. Stir to mix. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat off immediately. Serve hot.
