Ingredients
- 500 grams boneless chicken thighs (or beef strips)
- 1 large onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 medium potatoes
- 100 grams green peas
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or cooking oil of choice)
- 700 milliliters water
- 4 blocks Golden Curry roux blocks
- 4 servings steamed white rice
Instructions
1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and dice the onion into medium-sized pieces. Peel and chop the carrots into thick slices. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
2. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces if it's not pre-cut.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.
4. Add the chopped onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent.
5. Add the meat to the pot and cook until the surface is lightly browned, about 5 minutes.
