Ingredients

• 600 grams chicken thigh fillets
• 3 tablespoons yellow curry paste
• 400 milliliters coconut milk
• 250 milliliters chicken stock
• 300 grams baby potatoes
• 2 carrots
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 onion
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 lime
• 200 grams jasmine rice
• 400 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken thigh fillets into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds. Halve the baby potatoes if they are large. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and chop the onion finely.

Step 3

Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Add the rice and 400ml of water to a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the yellow curry paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and chicken stock, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Add the baby potatoes and carrots to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Stir in the red bell pepper, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 10

Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.

Step 11

Serve the curry over a bed of steamed jasmine rice, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves.
