Masaman Curry Chicken
This is from my lovely trip down to China Town to get some yummy and authentic ingredients!! BUT I'm sure you can find them in your international section right?
Ingredients:
4 TBSP sugar
1 TBSP salt
2 potatoes
1 small or med onion
1/2 C dry roasted peanuts (not salted)
2 TBSP Masaman Curry Paste ( thank you china town)
1 Can coconut milk
1 lb chicken, chopped
Directions:
Peel and cut potatoes into big chunks
Cut chicken into the same size chunks
Heat coconut milk and masaman curry paste in a pot over med/low heat and stir
stir constantly to keep the mixture from sticking. When you see the red oil bubbling up (about 5 minutes), add meat and stir to cover teh meat with curry.
add half a cup of water or enough to cover the meat.
Stew for 1/2 hour or until chicken is tender
Add Potatoes, onions, and peanuts
Let simmer for 20 minutes more. (the liquid shoudl be reduced and you should be able to see some of the chunks, but if it is very low, add a little more water)
Serve with STICKY RICE (if you can find it!) So yummy!
um... I was really proud of myself for this one. It's like ordering it in a NYC Thai restaurant, BUT it's CRAZY easy! Happy Thai cooking!
