“Nasi” Lemak Cauliflower with Baked Ginger-Turmeric Chicken Leg

Description

It’s not easy but we did it! Thanks to (several of) your suggestions to turn familiar local favourites into keto-friendly portion sizes using ingredients that are sugar-free, and carb free. We’re adamant about living up to the expectations of how the traditional Nasi Lemak is supposed to taste like, so no shortcuts here!

Each chicken leg is marinated overnight in thick, ginger-turmeric paste and then baked at high temperatures before it’s left to dry then blast frozen to lock in the flavours. Even the chilli, we chose to hand-processed them. Each is individually sliced, de-seeded and then blended with other secret spices for a mildly spicy condiment.

As for the main star, the cauliflower is fully submerged in small batches of pandan-coconut flavours before being baked. The end result is a fluffy, light coconut-y base that goes just right with the rest of the dish.
