It is a 400 mL can or thereabouts (you know how sometimes they are like 425 mL) and yes you remove the chicken from the pan before you add the 1/4 cup coco. Make sure you give it a stir at that stage or it might stick. Let me know how you go!Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-73568826710147562322011-02-11T13:22:41.768+11:002011-02-11T13:22:41.768+11:00going to try to make this tonight, finally! just w...going to try to make this tonight, finally! just wondering though - is it a 400ml can of coconut milk or more like 800ml? also - when you add the first 1/4 cup coconut milk, have you removed the sealed chicken by then or is it added TO the chicken?<br /><br />sorry haha..thanks!!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05199472280707226195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-65778498019747477162011-01-09T09:04:08.859+11:002011-01-09T09:04:08.859+11:00Billy, I asked and just like your dad's, the o...Billy, I asked and just like your dad's, the original recipe did have bone-in chicken, but M&S (our generation) have modified it with boneless.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-31454136731692446552011-01-05T21:44:20.586+11:002011-01-05T21:44:20.586+11:00Hi all!

So glad you like it. <br /><br />Deb, I think the root vegetables make it extra comforting and homely - like a curry soup Sunday roast (I know that sounds gross, but you know what I mean!)<br /><br />Courtney, it is definitely on the meal rotation for our family too.<br /><br />Bryan, it might be just homestyle perhaps?<br /><br />Billy, you are right, now that I think of it when I have eaten it at Tan Truc Giang it has been wingettes and drumettes and is extra rich and "lip-smacking".<br /><br />Thang, at first I did not want to put the whole can of coconut milk in as I thought "that will be too runny!" but sooo glad I did and besides, as you say, that is authentic.<br /><br />MR/Dad - yay!!! Oh, to have a bowl now! My peanut butter toast is so sad in comparison.Lauren aka Ms Bakloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540872180823771651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-70124712400548257392011-01-05T20:55:00.325+11:002011-01-05T20:55:00.325+11:00Great cooked tonight!!!

This looks like a great recipe though. One small thing, and I'm not sure if it'sa kid-friendly thing or a health thing, but for me ca ri ga is always made with bone-in chicken. Often drumsticks or wings, but that might just be a frugal thing on the part of vendors and my father. I think the fat and collagen which renders from the chicken skin and cartilage is part of what makes this dish so unctuous (read, oily and lip-smacking).<br /><br />And totally with you on the banh mi accompaniment. Wouldn't have it any other way.cloudcontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166808960017060326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166641060916490585.post-48917163903017788102011-01-04T08:35:55.105+11:002011-01-04T08:35:55.105+11:00Courtney let me know how it went!
