Chicken and Coconut Milk Laksa

To my mind, this magnificent dish is the Asian answer to the Mediterranean bouillabaisse and bourride. I know it looks a little complicated, but it is well worth the effort involved. The combination of ingredients is infinitely variable and you could, for instance, throw in a handful of shrimps if you had some, too. It’s probably a good idea to read my notes before you begin to prepare your Laksa.
