How to Cook Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk?
First, pan-fry the potatoes and carrots until the outer layer becomes light brown. Frying the potato and carrots will retain their good texture. Next thing, saute the garlic and onion until it smells good. Then, you can add the chicken savor with fish oil. Afterward, add coconut milk and water.
At this time, the chicken needs to tenderize, simmer it for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked. When the chicken is cooked add back the fried potato and carrots, cook for 3 minutes. Finally, you can add the curry powder and season it with salt and pepper, and top it with green and red bell peppers. Now the meal is ready!
In adding coconut milk, you have the choice to add it early or subsequently in the course. We have different preferences on how thick we want our sauce to be, so, you can always add chicken stock or water to thin the sauce.
Since the chicken will let out lots of juice naturally, you might need to thicken the sauce more instead of thinning it. This will depend on the ingredients you use and what you prefer.
This juicy chicken, tender carrots, and potatoes with delightful curry-coconut sauce will be the crowd’s favorite instantly.
