2 cups thick coconut milk (from ½ a coconut)
salt to taste

(b) items to blend
20 bird chillies, cili api - i used only 10, tu pun dah pedas giler
2" fresh turmeric
2" ginger
2 lemongrass

the how to:
1) in a pot add in everything except for the coconut milk, let it all simmer and come to a boil and also until the chicken and potatoes are cooked.

2) add in the coconut milk and stir constantly till it starts to boil once again - very important.

3) add in salt and taste. if everything's okay, take the pot off the heat.

4) serve with steaming hot rice. yum!
