The recipe from the cookbook is a dry version, but i turn it into a wet version by adding a few more ingredients.

Method
1. Season chicken with A.

2. Squeeze coconut in small handfuls through a piece of muslin for No. 1 milk, to obtain approx. 140ml. Add 225ml water to the coconut. Squeeze for No. 2 milk and set aside in another bowl. (skip this if you are using canned coconut milk)

3. Grind B (or use an electric blender) to a fine paste.

4. Heat oil in wok and fry paste over moderate heat till oil bubbles through and paste is fragant, adding a few tablespoons of No. 2 milk, stir till gravy starts to boil, add the chicken and cook over moderate heat for 10mins.
