I came across this curry for the first time in Masterchef Australia.Jules had prepared a delicious Chicken Ayam passed down to her from generations. When i searched there were lot of versions floating around the internet. Most of them had same set of ingredients except one or two.Kari ayam has all commonly used Indian spices in it. Few versions had shrimp paste in it. As there were no foreign ingredient, it was a safe bet to try. It turned out to be delicious. Coconut milk gave the gravy a creamy texture.
