Ingredients

  1. 4 Chicken Thighs with skin

  2. 2 Medium Potatoes

  3. 1 Onion

  4. 1 Cup of Coconut Milk

  5. 2tb of Curry Powder

  6. 1tb of Tumeric Powder

  7. 1 Star Anise

  8. 3 Cardamom Pods

  9. 1 Cinnamon Stick

STEPS

  1. Begin peeling and slicing up 1 onion into thin slices.

  2. In a large pot or whatever pot/wok you have, heat it up to high heat. Once just smoking add in a little bit of oil and your chicken thighs skin down. Let it be for 3-4 minutes till the skin is a nice golden brown and almost crispy.

  3. As your chicken skin is browning, in a bowl add in 2tb of curry powder and 1tb of turmeric powder. Slowly drizzle in a little bit of water at a time and mixing, you want a nice thick curry paste.

  4. Once your chicken's skin is nicely browned, remove your chicken and add in your onions to fry till almost golden brown and crispy.

  5. Add 1 star anise, 3 cardamom pods and 1 cinnamon stick along with your curry paste. Give it a good stir till you start to smell the aromas (should take 2-3 minutes).

  6. Add your chicken back in and add in just enough water to cover your chicken thighs. Bring it to a bare simmer and let it bubble away.

  7. As your chicken is simmering, peel and chop up 2 medium potatoes to whatever size you desire and add it into the pot.

  8. Let your curry simmer for 20-30 minutes till your chicken is cooked through and your potatoes are tender.

  9. Add in 1 cup of coconut milk and season to taste with salt.

  10. Bring it back up to a bare simmer and let it simmer for an additional 5-10minutes.

  11. Serve up over some rice and enjoy!

Happy Cooking
