Thick coconut milk 300 ml

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the ground spices and sauté until fragrant. Introduce the kaffir lime leaves, bruised lemongrass, and sliced galangal, allowing their flavors to infuse.

  2. Add Coconut Milk: Pour in the thick coconut milk, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  3. Season and Simmer: Once boiling, add the sugar and salt, then incorporate the diced potatoes or tofu. Cook until the potatoes are slightly tender.

  4. Incorporate the Eggs: Carefully add the hard-boiled eggs, allowing them to absorb the rich flavors. Continue to simmer until the coconut milk separates slightly and the dish thickens to your liking. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add water as needed.

  5. Serve: Once ready, serve the Telur Gulai Kentang hot with steamed rice, allowing the aromatic curry to complement your meal beautifully. Enjoy! 😍
