Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Ingredients

    Dice the onion, peel and dice the potatoes, slice the carrots, and chop the cilantro. Mince the garlic and ginger.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Curry Paste

    Add the Mussamun curry paste to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to combine with the onions, garlic, and ginger.

  2. 4

    Add Coconut Milk and Chicken

    Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Add the chicken thighs to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the curry base. Bring to a simmer.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Once the chicken is simmering, add the diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and frozen peas. Stir to combine.

  4. 6

    Season the Curry

    Stir in the fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and salt. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

  5. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Once cooked, taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary. Stir in the chopped cilantro just before serving. Serve hot with rice or bread.
