Chicken & Potato Massaman Curry
Ingredients
Serves: 4-6 Prep Time: 10 mins Cooking Time: approx. 25 mins
- 2 tbs peanut oil
- 3 tbs good quality Massaman curry paste
- 1 brown onion (diced)
- ¼ bunch fresh coriander (stalks finely chopped, leaves picked and kept separate)
- approx. 400g baby Mozart potatoes*
- 500g chicken thigh fillets (cut into 3cm chunks)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 star anise
- 1/3 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
- 2 tbs fish sauce
- 1 lime (zested and juiced)
- 2 tbs palm sugar*
- 2 kaffir lime leaves
- 1 tbs fresh ginger (grated)
- 400ml Can Coconut Milk
- fried shallots, lime wedges and steamed rice to serve
Method
- Prick the potatoes 2-3 times with a fork and place in the microwave. Cook on Medium High heat for approx. 5 minutes or until just tender. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
- Meanwhile heat a wok or a large deep frying pan over medium high heat until hot. Add the oil, curry paste, star anise and cinnamon and stir continuously for around 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion and coriander stalks and cook until for 2-3 minutes or until softened, stirring regularly. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat in the mixture and cook for 3 minutes or until sealed.
- Add the coconut milk, peanuts, kaffir lime leaves and ginger. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the potatoes and simmer for around 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are very tender.
- Stir in the fish sauce, lime zest, lime juice and palm sugar.
- Serve over steamed rice some fried shallots, lime wedges and coriander leaves.
Kitchen Notes:
Baby Mozart potatoes could be substituted for baby Sweet Potatoes if desired which can be peeled and sliced into 1 cm pieces and added in Step 3 with the chicken – they will not require pre cooking.
Palm sugar is available in the Asian section of most supermarkets and gives a lovely caramel flavour. Brown sugar can be substituted.
Kaffir lime leaves and fresh ginger can be stored in a zip lock bag in the freezer and used from frozen to preserve their shelf life.
