CHICKEN DALCA/DALCA AYAM

Tomato Rice without Dalca is considered INCOMPLETE. For this recipe I used the bonny part of the chicken from my ayam masak merah. I used the wing, the neck and back part of the chicken. I cut it small, your dalca can also be plain, but to get the sweetness of the meat I used the chicken. For the same recipe you can use beef or mutton. If you want to use beef, it is best that you describe to the meat seller that you need for dalca. They will give you special portion of dalca meat. People in Penang make a good dalca. I learned this from one of the caterer that used to supply food to my previous office. Had tried many occasions and seem to get good feedback.. So give a try. You wont regret. It's finger licking good. Double joy if you carry it forward to the next and have it with "Roti Benggali"....really kick your sock off !!!!!!!

Nasi tomato tampa dalca tak ada maknanya. Oleh itu tak hairanlah kalau di Penang, orang Penang akan menamakan sajian ini sebagai Nasi Dalca. Biasanya Dalca ini akan di "carry forward" ke keesokkan harinya. Dipanaskan, dipekatkan lagi dicicah dengan "Roti Benggali" perghhhh..... lagi satu resipi kalau makan mak mertau lalu dibelakang memang tak sedar. Biasanya orang Penang memang tera buat dalca... boleh berpeluh dibuatnya.  Cuba resipi saya ini, saya belajar dari orang Penang juga.

Seelok-eloknya nak buat dalca ini ambil reje-reje ayam atau daging, atau guna daging tel-tel sedap dan manis. Untuk dalca ayam ini saya ambil bahagian-bahagian tulang dari ayam masak merah. Kita cuma nak dapatkan manis-manis ayam itu aje.
