Salam. Thank you for this tasty recipe. I’d cooked ayam masak merah for tonight dish. It turns out great and delicious. I had no tomato paste, i used fresh tomato & tomato sauce, i had no evaporated milk, i substituted coconut milk.
Great ayam masak merah recipe indeed. Preferably use ayam kampong will taste better and jucier.
Te teer

I think it will be more perfect if there is a measuring unit for the ingredients rather than guessing how much to add.
