this is great to make if you run out of options, especially if you leave the local yemeni grocer-cum-butcher without a single king prawn or chicken breast fillet in hand (this entry was supposed to be on mee yoke). got this off one of my jamie oliver books. one thing i’ve learnt about making mat salleh versions of anything (supposedly) hot is to not follow the recipe. hahaha. all right then, follow it but it won’t hurt if you double/triple (without overdoing it) certain ingredients of the recipe.

chilli is best eaten if it was cooked the night before as the meat flavours just seep into the sauce. i had no choice this time but to cook it while leaving my friends in the lounge chatting / watching telly / installing an audigy 2 ZS soundcard, sipping chilled canned cincau (yang memang bukan rasa macam lancau). also, i left them some corn chips ( aka doritos) and fresh home-made salsa, for them to munch while they wait.
