Cooking Steps

  1. 1

    Peel the potatoes and carrot. Cut the potatoes, carrot, onion, and chicken into bite-sized pieces (about 3cm cubes).

    Advice : Cutting the vegetables into uniform sizes ensures they all cook at the same rate.

    Ingredients
    Potatoes 2 medium
    Carrot 1 medium
    Onion 1 medium
    Chicken thigh meat 450g
  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the grated garlic and grated ginger, then add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken surface changes color.

    Advice : Sautéing the aromatics first helps release their flavor into the oil, which then coats the chicken.

    Ingredients
    Vegetable oil 1 tbsp
    Grated garlic 1 tsp
    Grated ginger 1 tsp
    Chicken thigh meat 450g
  3. 3

    Add the onion, carrot, and potatoes to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes slightly translucent.

    Advice : Sautéing the vegetables before adding water helps them hold their shape better during simmering.

    Pour in the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

    Advice : Use a ladle to remove any white foam (scum) that rises to the surface for a cleaner-tasting curry.

    Simmering 15 min
    Ingredients
    Water 600ml
  5. 5

    Turn off the heat. Break the curry roux into pieces and add them to the pot. Stir until completely dissolved. Turn the heat back to low and simmer for another 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

    Advice : Turning off the heat prevents the roux from clumping, ensuring a smooth and glossy sauce.

    Thickening 5 min
    Ingredients
    Curry roux 4 blocks
  6. 6

    Serve the hot curry over bowls of cooked rice.

    Advice : Letting the curry sit for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to settle and intensify.

    Ingredients
    Cooked rice 600g
