Update: 2018-07-22 05:30 IST

Making Ohn no (coconut milk) khow suey (noodles) is a long drawn laborious process, with every ingredient freshly made. Here’s a shortcut method I learnt from my mom.

Ingredients

  • Egg noodles 1 packet
  • Breast pieces of chicken 2 (cut into small pieces)
  • Chilli powder 1 tsp
  • Turmeric powder ½ tsp
  • Fish sauce 1 tbsp
  • Chopped large onion 1
  • Ginger piece 1 inch 
  • Half pod of garlic
  • Lemon grass with roots
  • Small tetra pack of coconut milk 1
  • Lightly roasted gram flour (besan) 1 tbsp

Method 

  • Garnish- chilli flakes- spring onions or coriander leaves- lime- hard boiled eggs
  • Boil a packet of egg noodles and keep aside.
  • Marinate the chicken pieces with turmeric, chilli and fish sauce for half an hour.
  • Grind onion, garlic and ginger into a rough paste, then fry till golden brown. Add chicken, and lightly pounded lemon grass roots. Once it’s cooked add water (about 1 litre), coconut milk, gram flour and salt to taste. Tie the lemon grass into a bunch and boil with the soup till the flavours fill your kitchen.
  • To serve, place some noodles in a bowl, top it with soup, and add garnishing as per your preference.
