Ayam Masak Merah

Miss this ayam masak merah very much.
Thought of cook for my hubby's friends.
Since already have fried chicken so i changed my menu to stew beef instead of this ayam masak merah.
But i really want to eat this so i just cook it for my family after the gathering.
Still using Sonia's recipe but i changed a bit.
I cook this for myself & my husband.
At the same time i cook a pork ribs curry (not hot one) for kids.
As both my children have their curry, so i can cook a little bit hot for my ayam masak merah.
End up my son is the one who enjoy this ayam masak merah the most, especially the gravy.
I really love this and once again thanks Sonia for sharing her easy recipe.
