Plum Sauce Chicken Wings Baked in a Flash

By Carol Selva Rajah, Malaysian Cooking: A Master Cook Reveals Her Best Recipe

This is an interactive recipe where you can have fun. If some of the sauces are unavailable, clean out your refrigerator and create your own sensual combination by adding a cocktail of sauces for fragrance and taste. The wings make a great finger food when served with a delicate dipping sauce. For a really fragrant alternative, tie strips of pandanus leaf around the chicken wings; the leaf will brown but the flavour remains.

Amah’s Aromatic Chicken Curry

By Carol Selva Rajah, Malaysian Cooking: A Master Cook Reveals Her Best Recipes

My Amah or nanny had the uncanny ability to tease the most tantalising aromas from a handful of garlic gently sautéed with golden caramelised onions. She would then brown the chicken in this, smother it with perfumed herbs and freshly dry-roasted ground coriander and cumin to produce this unforgettable dish, which combines fragrances reminiscent of anise, parsley and lemon.
