Opor Ayam Coconut Chicken Curry with Lontong

Opor ayam is the gentle, pale-gold member of the curry family: chicken poached in coconut milk with a paste of shallots, candlenuts and turmeric, fragrant with lemongrass and bay. There is no chili burn, only warmth. Slices of lontong rice cake and fried tofu soak up the sauce, the way it is served at festive gatherings.
