Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ onion (diced)
- 1 oz (30g) curry powder (for meat)
- 1½ lbs (750g) chicken thighs (or legs or whole chicken)
- 2 cups water
- 2 small potatoes (Yukon Gold preferred, peeled and cut into wedges)
- 1 big tomato (cut into wedges, optional)
- 4 hard-boiled eggs (optional)
- ½ cup coconut cream or coconut milk (coconut cream preferred)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
Steps
-
Add the oil to a pot or pan and heat until hot. Add the diced onions and stir-fry until softened and aromatic.
-
Add the curry powder to the onions and stir quickly until the aroma of the curry powder is released.
-
Add the chicken and stir well to combine it with the curry powder and onions, cooking for about 1 minute.
-
Add the water to the pot or pan and bring the curry to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and add the potatoes. (Add the tomatoes and hard-boiled eggs, if using.) Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender. If you find the curry too watery, simply simmer it longer until it reaches your desired thickness. Stir in the coconut cream/coconut milk and salt to taste, and combine well. Serve hot with steamed rice.
