This is very good! And very Indonesian, I think. At least my kitchen smells just like the Indonesian restaurant I sometimes go to. I grilled the chicken pieces until golden, then cooked them in the basting liquid, rather than broil and baste - only because of the limitations of my kitchen. I'm sure they would be delicious made like that. I took the chicken pieces out of the liquid, reduced it a little, and then added them back, so they had a sauce. I don't really understand the function of the almonds in this recipe, but I had some sliced almonds, so added about a tablespoon of them. Will definitely make this again. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us.

Hey Everyone! Greetings from Sunny Singapore! I'm am so glad to have found this site. It is waaaayyy better than other sites I've been.
I have about 240 cookbooks and my faves are the older cookbooks I got from my mom as I prefer from scratch cooking.
I have created several cookbooks dedicated to the use of eggs. I have come across a number of recipes requests for using up lots of eggs. So there they are.

The above is a picture of me at my office's Annual Christmas cum costume party. I won first prize with that orange costume! The one with the (fake) Tattoos was taken in Dec 2007 when I again won first prize.
I love spicy food and the many different kinds of chilli dips different foods calls for!!
Love baking, cross stitching, trying my hand now in shoe beading and patchwork and now doing a course on aromatherapy. Oh and am now trying to raise a flower and herb garden but it is not easy as I am a newbie at that too!
In some of my recipes, you will note that there is a letter in brackets at the beginning of the name. This is what it means :
(A) : Aromatherapy/Homeopathic/Less toxic
I'm not crazy about recipes using pre-mix cakes as I am a more from-scratch person. My recipes will have the local name (when applicable) as well as the anglicised name, eg "Au Nee (Sweet Yam Paste).
If I had a month off, I'd be in Texas.
