Instructions
- Remove the skin from the chicken thighs and de-bone them. Trim any unwanted fat that may be on them. Take a cleaver or large knife and use the flat side to bash the chicken. This will help tenderise it and slightly flatten it. cut into two or three pieces.
- Add the turmeric, pepper corns and cardamom to a dry frying pan and toast lightly until they release their fragrance. Turn onto a plate and leave to cool.
- Roughly chop the chillies, lemon grass, ginger and garlic and using a mortar and pestle going them to a smooth and moist paste.
