HOW TO MAKE THAI COCONUT CURRY + COCONUT CURRY SAUCE
Making curry chicken is simple! Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant, cook the chicken until browned, then stir in potatoes and carrots.
Sprinkle the seasonings over top and add the red curry past along with the yellow curry powder.
COCONUT CURRY TIP: Toasting the seasonings will help develop the flavors in the curry.You wouldn’t believe what a difference it makes!
Pour in the coconut milk (full-fat is recommended) along with the chicken broth (or vegetable broth if you plan on keeping things vegetarian), brown sugar, and fish sauce. Yes, I said fish sauce. A teaspoon gives this coconut curry sauce depth without being detectible, or even worse, overwhelming!
Let the curry simmer for 20 minutes or until it thickens up and the vegetables and chicken are cooked through.
Serve this curry over rice. White rice or brown rice works well with this dish.
Do you have to use full-fat coconut milk for this recipe? That’s what I suggest – it really adds so much flavor to the coconut curry sauce!
How to reheat coconut curry? Store in airtight containers and place in fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, cook in a saucepan or wok on medium heat until heated through. You can also microwave until heated through.
