Curry Ingredients

Method

Prepare the Meat

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a bowl, season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Make the Curry Paste

  1. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a blender, combine the fresh turmeric root, fresh ginger, garlic cloves, dried red chili, coriander powder, cumin powder, and lemon juice. Blend until you have a smooth paste.

Cook the Curry

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped white onion and sauté until translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Curry Paste and Chicken

    Add the prepared curry paste to the pot, stirring well to combine with the onions. Then, add the seasoned chicken breast and cook until the chicken is browned on all sides.

  3. 5

    Add Potatoes and Coconut Milk

    Dice the potatoes and add them to the pot along with the coconut milk. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer.

    Add Bell Pepper and Simmer

    Chop the bell pepper and add it to the pot. Reduce heat and let the curry simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
