Chicken Curry 🍛

Chicken Curry

Ingredients:

  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Ginger
  • Lemon
  • Fish sauce
  • Curry powder
  • Tomatoes
  • Chicken thighs with skin (if bone-in, debone)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Half and half
  • Chicken stock
  • Yogurt (optional)
  • Some sort of pepper

Recipe:

  1. Dice up chicken into chunks.
  2. Sear in a good amount of oil. Remove.
  3. Fry diced onions in the leftover oil. Add diced pepper, sliced garlic (a ton), and ginger. Fry these until golden. Then add curry powder. Toast for a little. Add some fish sauce.
  4. Add diced tomatoes. Cook for a while. Add chicken stock. Add some fish sauce (I tend to do so erratically).
  5. Add in lemon. Cook for a bit.
  6. Add back chicken and put in sweet potatoes (these can help thicken if needed). Cook until chicken is tender.
  7. Add half and half, and maybe yogurt? Off the heat.
  8. Serve with rice. I ate some directly after cooking and it was good. I left it on the counter and came back after a night of studying—up there with the best things I have eaten. It had morphed into a luscious, spicy, savory, slightly sour stew. I licked the pot clean. Definitely going to make a huge batch soon for the freezer.
