Ayam Goreng Sambal Ijo
I went to Paddish Market to buy some continental herbs including chilli. These are essential items in my fridge. I always pureed them and kept them in glass bottles, so they are always ready to be used for convenience. Well, I was going to buy red long chillies and to my surprised green long chillies were half the price of the red one. So, I bought half kg of each chillies. I have been wanting to cook the fried chicken in green chilli sauce for a long time instead of the red one, but I worried that my husband would dislike them. He is a bit picky in sambal chilli and I don’t think he like the fried chicken in red chillies that much. To my surprised, he loves the green chillies version so much that I cooked them twice in a week.
