Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp of fish sauce
  • 1 ½ tbsp of garam masala
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • ½ tsp of ground turmeric
  • 5 chicken drumsticks, with the skin removed and meat chopped into pieces about 2 inches in size
  • 1 ½ medium-sized onions
  • 1 habanero pepper for a spicy kick
  • 1 piece of fresh ginger root that measures around 1 inch in length
  • 3 cloves of aromatic garlic
  • 4 tbsp of versatile vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp of crushed lemongrass for an exotic touch
  • 1 tsp of shrimp paste to enhance flavors
  • 3 medium potatoes, cut into cubes for a hearty addition
  • Season with salt to your liking
  • 2 ½ cups of chicken broth, or more if necessary

Step 1

Mix together a flavorful blend of fish sauce, garam masala, paprika, and turmeric in a bowl. Massage this aromatic mixture lovingly into the chicken, allowing it to soak up the delicious flavors for around 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 2

Next, create a zesty puree by blending together onions, fiery habanero pepper, fresh ginger root, and pungent garlic until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 3

In a saucepan heated with oil over medium heat, introduce the blended onion mix, fragrant lemongrass, and a hint of shrimp paste. Cook and stir this savory medley for approximately 8 minutes.

Step 4

Now, it's time to add the marinated chicken to the pan. Sear the chicken on all sides for roughly 10 minutes. Toss in some potatoes and a sprinkle of salt, stirring for an additional 3 minutes. Pour in some broth until the chicken and potatoes are submerged, adjusting the liquid amount as needed. Bring everything to a boil, then simmer covered for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue cooking for an extra 10 minutes to let the flavors meld and intensify.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Utilize airtight containers to store your leftover chicken curry. This will help lock in the flavors and prevent any leakage or spills in your fridge.
  2. 2. Separate the curry from the rice or naan bread before storing to keep them from getting soggy. You can store them in separate containers or compartments within a bento box for easy meal prep.
