Nonya chicken curry

Yes, a curry paste from scratch, but hear us out. This curry is delicious, but not if you shortcut things.

Peruse supermarket fridges where assorted poultry parts lurk, witness the pallid, pink, skin-free horror and you’ll be asking the same question as we regularly do... where the heck does it all go?…
