记得中学时期学校两年一次都会举办所谓的‘食堂日’来筹款建礼堂之类的, 有一年我们的班选择了请人来现场烤ayam percik,
那时候这个烤鸡还很受欢迎的, 还没有到中午就卖完了。 后来也比较少有机会接触到这种烤鸡, 只大概记得在马来人斋戒月的午市都会有卖。
这次用的食谱, 是来自吉兰丹的版本。

20 minutes. Season with tamarind paste, salt, pepper and sugar halfway
through.

cardamom and cloves from the gravy. Add the rest of coconut milk and the
potato starch mix (if using). Simmer until thick. Taste for seasoning.
Turn off the heat and leave aside.
