To serve:
- Remove the tough outer layers from the lemongrass. Finely grate the bottom half of the stalk, discarding the rest.
- In a food processor, combine the grated lemongrass with the shallot, garlic, ginger, chilli flakes, turmeric and two tablespoons of water and whizz together until a paste forms, adding an extra splash or two of water if needed.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and cook for 8-10 minutes, skin side down, until the skin is lightly browned and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
- In the fat left in the pan, cook the spice paste for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until very fragrant and slightly darkened.
- Add the cardamom, star anise, coconut milk and brown sugar and bring to a simmer.
- Add the chicken and cook for 45 minutes, turning pieces occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan often, until the chicken is tender and cooked throughout.
- Toast the shredded coconut in a small dry pan over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Place the chicken pieces on serving plates and drizzle with any liquid left in the pan. Top with the toasted coconut and some fresh coriander and serve with brown rice.
