Transport your taste buds to the vibrant streets of Thailand with this rich and comforting Thai Yellow Chicken Curry with Potatoes and Tomatoes. Featuring tender chicken thighs simmered in a fragrant blend of yellow curry paste, creamy coconut milk, and savory chicken broth, this dish is bursting with bold yet harmonious flavors. The golden potatoes absorb the flavorful curry, while juicy Roma tomatoes add a touch of sweetness and bright acidity. Aromatics like garlic, ginger, and onions create an irresistible base, enhanced by the umami kick of fish sauce and a hint of brown sugar for balance. Served over fluffy jasmine rice and garnished with fresh cilantro and a zing of lime, this one-pot wonder is perfect for a satisfying weeknight meal or an impressive dinner party dish.
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent browning.
Dice the onion into thin slices. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the tomatoes into large chunks.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and yellow curry paste to the pot. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until aromatic.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the curry paste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot. Let them simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for another 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly but maintain their shape.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more fish sauce or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over jasmine rice.
