Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons yellow curry paste
- 500 grams boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 carrots, sliced into rounds
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon palm sugar (or brown sugar)
- 250 milliliters water or chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 cups steamed jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat.
Add the yellow curry paste and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pan. Stir and cook until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
Pour in the coconut milk and water (or chicken stock), stirring to combine.
Add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots to the curry. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Season the curry with fish sauce and palm sugar, adjusting to taste. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Once the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, remove from heat and add lime juice to brighten the flavors.
Serve the karee curry hot, garnished with chopped cilantro, alongside steamed jasmine rice.
