Aromatics & Spices
- 2 tbsp Onion paste
- 2 tbsp Ginger paste, with garlic
- 1 tbsp Fish Sauce or soy sauce for a vegetarian option
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Pepper powder, white
- 4-6 Kaffir Lime Leaf fresh, shredded
Garnish & Other
- 1 can (13.5 oz) Coconut Milk
- 2 tbsp Spring Onion chopped, for garnish
- 1/4 cup Peanut crushed, for garnish, roasted
- 2 tbsp Coriander also known as cilantro, chopped, for garnish
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup Water adjust as needed for desired consistency
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables
- Heat olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add onion paste and stir-fry for 1 minute until fragrant. Add ginger-garlic paste and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
- Add the potatoes and chicken. Stir well to coat with the paste and cook for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.
Add Aromatics and Spices
- Stir in the shredded bamboo shoots, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce, paprika, white pepper, and sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly softened.
Simmer the Curry
- Pour in the coconut milk and water. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Garnish and Serve
- Stir in the chopped fresh coriander. Garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped spring onions. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Thai Chicken Curry:
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of fish sauce, ginger-garlic paste, and a pinch of sugar for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of fish sauce and sugar to your taste preference. Some prefer a sweeter or more savory curry.
- If you can't find fresh kaffir lime leaves, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of lime zest and 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice.
- Don't overcook the bamboo shoots; they should retain a slight crispness.
