Hi allšš»āāļø,
Malaysian Laksa Soup.. heard a lot about itās taste from my sister.. and after gobbling heap of festive sweets since last week.. itās time to detoxify a bit..ā¹ļø. Hence.. made this thick Malaysian red curry soup for lunchš.. itās red curry pasteās soup cooked with homemade red curry paste, coconut milk, chicken broth, yellow and green bell peppers, zucchini, mushroom, shredded chicken and served with the toppings of shredded chicken, sautĆ©ed prawns, sliced cucumber, lemon wedges, rosemary, sautĆ©ed cherry tomatoes and rice flat noodlesšš time to slurpš!!!
Go through the steps carefully and donāt panic seeing the length of the recipe. Believe me .. make it once and youāll make it againš¤.
This is non-veg version but vegetarians donāt worry. Just replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and remove chicken and prawns from the topping and replace with tofu or paneer and as well as eggetarians.. add boiled eggs tooš.
Itās fully proteinsome mealšŖš».
Replacement of lemon grass is mindblowingā¦ and no wonder the laksa paste can be made so easily.. never thought. I bet all the ingredients of laksa or red curry paste is there at your home .. I can seeš.
Cherry tomatoes are totally optional. I used them instead of red Thai chillies to give a red bit lookš.
INGREDIENTS:
FOR RED CURRY OR LAKSA PASTE:
8-10 whole red chillies.. I have used Kashmiri chilli because it gives intense red colour and not so spicy too. Put all the chillies in a cup of hot boiling water for 10 minutes.
10 whole cashews
2 tbsp canola or olive oil or any unflavoured vegetable oil
8-10 peeled garlic cloves
3ā peeled and diced ginger
1 medium sized onions or 2 onion shallots
Zest and juice of 1 lemon or 1 tbsp lemon grass
FOR CHICKEN BROTH
250 gms boneless chicken
2 glasses water
Salt
FOR LAKSA SOUP:
1 tbsp coconut oil or any unflavoured vegetable oil
Half of the laksa paste made from the above ingredients
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup each of chopped red and yellow bell peppers
1 whole zucchiniā¦ peeled and thinly chopped
120 ml coconut milk
Chicken broth received from the above ingredients
Shredded chicken that you added for broth
Salt
1 tbsp sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
FOR SERVING (per bowl)
Few sliced lemon
Few sliced cucumber
4-5 sautƩed prawns
Some shredded chicken
Rice noodles
METHOD:
First of all prepare your broth. Put all the ingredients in a pressure cooker and give 3 whistles. Switch off the flame and let the pressure release. By the time boil your rice noodles as mentioned on the packet.
Secondly prepare your laksa or red curry paste. Discard the water of red chillies and transfer all the ingredients of laksa paste in a grinder. Grind into a fine paste. This paste you can store in a refrigerator for a week. It becomes very handy when you make next batch of yours of this soup.
Now third step is to make your laksa soupšš. Take a wide vessel. Add oil and heat it. Add half of the laksa paste and fry for 2 minutes or until the raw aroma of onion goes off. Add all the vegetables and sautĆ© for 2-3 minutes. Donāt sautĆ© till mushy. It should be crunchy instead. Add the coconut milk and the whole chicken broth. Stir well. Now add the shredded chicken and store a little quantity which you will use while serving. Add salt, sugar and lime juice. Let it boil for 10-15 minutes or until the desired thick consistency.
By the time add few drops of oil in a fry pan and sautƩ prawns and tomatoes by adding pinch of salt. I did both the things together by keeping both ingredients side by side. You do as you are comfortable.
As the soup has thickened, switch off the flame. Adjust you seasoning as per your taste.
Itās time to serve š..
Take a soup bowl. Pour the soup with a ladle. Add nice noodles, cucumber slices, lemon slices, shredded chicken, sautĆ©ed prawns, cherry tomatoes. Serve hot and you too slurp it hotšš.
Isnāt it easy and deliciousš??
Now you make your batch and let me know..
By the time .. KEEP COOKINGšš»
