Serves: 4 | Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 40 min
Ingredients
750g chicken thighs, bone-in or boneless, cut into chunks
4–5 tbsp Amina’s Wonder Spice – All Purpose Curry Paste
2–3 tbsp vegetable oil
2 large onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large carrots, sliced
1 can (400ml) coconut milk
1½ cups chicken stock
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh coriander, to garnish
Steamed rice or warm crusty bread, to serve
Instructions
Brown the chicken
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and brown lightly on all sides. Remove and set aside.
Cook the base
In the same pot, sauté onions and garlic until soft and fragrant. Stir in Amina’s All Purpose Curry Paste and cook 1–2 minutes to release the flavors.
Build the curry
Add chicken back to the pot. Pour in coconut milk and chicken stock. Stir to combine. Add potatoes and carrots.
Simmer to perfection
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serve and enjoy
Garnish with fresh coriander. Serve over steamed rice or with warm crusty bread for a comforting, hearty meal.
