Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Padi

This is my all time favourite dish! I can eat it everyday and go fat, no, not fat - OBESE! Yes, this is a fatty Malaysian dish, very high in cholesterol so I would only serve it once in a while.
In english its called spicy chicken in coconut gravy. Depending on your tastebuds, you can add more or less chillies if you wish InshaAllah.
