Water chestnuts can be substituted for (but not confused with) chestnuts when the latter are out of season.

Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, chopped
2

Method

In a mortar, pound the garlic, coriander roots and black peppercorns to a paste. In a wok, heat the oil and fry the paste, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken pieces (not the livers) and stir-fry until they are just brown. Pour in the chicken stock and now add the chicken livers. Adjust heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the chestnuts, season with salt and sprinkle with palm sugar
