How to Make Aromatic Chicken Curry

  1. Peel and cube 1 lb potatoes. Fry in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until golden brown. Remove and set aside on paper towels.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped shallots, 2 stalks of lemongrass (finely chopped), 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1-2 Thai chili peppers (finely chopped), and a pinch of black pepper to the same pan.
  3. Sauté the spice mixture for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until lightly browned.
  5. Stir in the fried potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste), 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, and 1 cup of chicken stock.
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
