Chicken Samlá (Cambodian Chicken Curry) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup fresh ginger, thinly sliced peeled
    1/4 cup fresh lemongrass, chopped peeled
    1 1/2 tablespoons shrimp sauce (such as Lee Kum Kee) or 1 1/2 tablespoons shrimp paste
    1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
    1 teaspoon grated lime rind
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
    1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
    5 garlic cloves, halved
    2 large shallots, peeled and quartered
    cooking spray
    6 (4 ounce) skinless chicken drumsticks, skinned
    6 (4 ounce) skinless chicken thighs, skinned
    1 cup reduced-sodium fat-free chicken broth
    3/4 cup light coconut milk
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
    lime wedge (optional)
Preparation
    Place first 10 ingredients in a food processor; process until minced, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add ginger mixture; saute 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook 2 minutes on each side. Add broth, coconut milk, and sugar, scraping pan to loosen browned bits; bring mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes or until chicken is done.
    Remove pan from heat. Remove chicken from pan, reserving liquid in pan; cool chicken slightly. Remove the meat from bones, and discard bones. Place pan over medium heat. Stir in chicken and lime juice; cook for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
    Cooking Light does not give prep or cook time. The times listed is my guess.
