Ayam Masak Merah

Original recipe taken from: http://myresipi.com/recipes/ayam-masak-merah-simple-sedap

1 whole chicken (chopped to pieces) 

turmeric and salt (I used fresh minced turmeric) 

BLEND: 

9-10 dry chilies 

2cm ginger

4-5 garlic cloaves

2 bulbs big red onions

2 tomatoes (peeled and diced)

1 cup tomato ketchup

GARNISHING:

1 bulb big red onion (cut in circles)

green peas 

STEPS

1. Cut and clean the chicken. 
2. Marinate chicken with salt and turmeric. 
3. Fry chicken until 2/3 cooked. 
4. Stir fry all the blended ingredients except tomato and tomato ketchup until fragrant. 
5. Add in diced tomato and tomato ketchup. Continue to stir fry until fragrant. 
6. Add in chicken. When the sauce thickens, turn around once in a while. 
7. Serve. 

NOTES

• This tastes really not bad. The one I did didn't look that red because I was a little budget on the tomato ketchup. My mom said not to put too much.. =/ So, if you were to follow the original recipe exactly, it should look red like outside sold ayam masak merah. Best serve with nasi beriani (which I did that day!). So yummm!
