The Indonesian island of Java is home to over 145 million people - a diverse population made up of mostly indigenous cultures. With over 90% of the population being Muslim, chicken is often the meat of choice and here it’s featured in a deliciously rich and fragrant curry.
On the side we’ve got a speedy version of Indonesia’s favourite condiment - a spicy chilli sambal.
