Gulai ayam

Gulai ayam is a chicken-based version of gulai—traditional Indonesian curry-like dish. It consists of chicken cuts that are slowly simmered in a complex, spicy sauce which is based on coconut milk and various spices that typically include chilis, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and nutmeg, as well as shallots, garlic, and candlenuts. It is believed that the dish first appeared in Padang, West Sumatra, but it is now enjoyed throughout the country. Gulai ayam is usually served with steamed rice on the side.
