- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons curry paste (or more if you like it HOT)
- 3/4 inch thick slice ginger, minced
- 1 1/4 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons tamarind paste (I use Worcestershire Sauce)
- 1/3 cup peanut butter (I probably double this because I like it THICK)
- 3 cups peeled, cubed potatoes (I use sweet potatoes and boil them until they are almost cooked)
- 1 (13.5 ounce) can coconut milk (I use the LITE coconut milk)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Directions
·
Heat
vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cubed chicken,
and cook until the pieces turn white on the outside, about 3 minutes.
·
Stir in
curry paste and minced ginger; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
·
Stir in
brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste, peanut butter, potatoes, and coconut
milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until
the potatoes are tender and the chicken pieces are no longer pink in the
center, about 20 minutes.
·
Add the
lime juice and cook for an additional 5 minutes before serving.
·
Serve on
basmati rice with naan bread.
OPTIONS
FROM OTHER PEOPLE
Ø start off
frying the paste first with the oil for a couple minutes and then add the
creamy part of the coconut milk. I also didn't add peanut butter, because I
think that's cheating kind of and another user complained about the thickness
of the curry (I like mine soupy, too). I would just use peanuts, throwing them
in with the potatoes or at the end, and maybe peanut oil to fry it all up with.
Ø sweet
potato instead of white and added onions and carrots as per another reviewer's
suggestion.
Ø The only thing I
substituted was equal parts Worcestershire sauce for the Tamarind paste. I
added onions, sweet potatoes and a few strips of bell pepper
