Ingredients:

Serving

2 large chicken breasts (so that's about 4 individual breasts)
1 lime
400 -600 ml coconut milk , depending on how thick you prefer it to be
7 eggs
5 pieces firm tofu, cut each diagonally so you end up with 10 pieces altogether
10 shallots
10 pieces garlic
7 pieces candlenuts
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
2 pieces lemongrass
5 -7 fresh lime leaves
2 cm gingerroot or 2 galangal, bruised soaked in a bit of lemon juice for a few minutes
3 pieces fresh bay leaves

Directions:

Cut chicken into smaller pieces. If using boneless, skinless chicken breast then cut into bite size pieces. Squeeze the juice of one lime over chicken and let sit for about 15-20 minutes.
Boil the eggs and peel, set aside.
Sauté the tofu in oil until lightly brown.
Blend the shallots, garlic, candlenuts, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender until it forms a smooth paste.
Sauté the paste in oil (about 1-2 Tbsp.) for a few minutes.
Once bumbu is sautéed, add 1500 ml water and chicken.
Stir occasionally until it comes to a boil.
Add 2 pieces of lemon grass that have been bruised, 5-7 pieces of lime leaves, galangal (about the size of thumb, bruised) & 3 bay leaves.
Bring to a boil… add tofu and eggs.
For extra flavor you can sauté sliced shallots to sprinkle in once cooked.
