Ingredients:

2 lb chicken
1 tsp salt
1 cup oil
1 tsp dried shrimp paste
4 shallots, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 chilies, red, fresh
2 tbsp oil
2 1/3 cup coconut milk
2 bay leaves
1 lemon grass stalk
1 tbsp juice, lime

Instructions:

Dried shrimp paste is also called terasi. Seed and shred the chilies.
Crush lemon grass with side of cleaver.

Cut chicken in half. Wash and pat dry. Rub with salt and oil. Grill
over hot coals about 10-15 minutes each side, until done.

Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Wrap shrimp paste in foil and
toast each side over moderate heat about 2 minutes. Pound shallots,
garlic, chilies, and toasted shrimp paste into a paste. Heat oil in
frying pan. Add paste and fry on moderate heat, stirring, for about
4-5 minutes, or until dry, do not burn.

Add coconut milk gradually, stirring after each addition. Add bay
leaves and lemon grass. Bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes to allow
flavors to blend.

Add lime juice. Stir. Add cooked chicken and reheat in sauce.
Garnish with the shredded chilie. Serve with rice and Sambal Ulek.

Here is something that I remembered on my last trip to Padang and the
Mentawai Islands. I like those out of the way places..

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting

Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.

Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.

"We were not satisfied with the qualities which nature gave to poultry; art stepped in and, under the pretext of improving fowls, has made martyrs of them." Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
