Chicken Curry With Potatoes And Lemongrass Recipes

CHICKEN CURRY AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place chicken into a large saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir mild curry powder, hot curry powder, black pepper, and salt into onion mixture; continue to cook and stir for 5 minutes, then transfer mixture to chicken and broth.
• Stir potatoes into chicken mixture. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes more.

VIETNAMESE LEMON GRASS CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the lemon grass, cooking until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Place the chicken into the skillet. Cook and stir the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the skin is browned, about 10 minutes. Stir in the water, fish sauce, and curry powder. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of the curry sauce in a small bowl, until smooth. Stir cornstarch mixture into the skillet and simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

CHICKEN CURRY WITH POTATOES AND LEMONGRASS

Steps:

• Combine fish sauce, garam masala, paprika, and turmeric in a bowl. Rub mixture deeply into chicken and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Combine onions, habanero pepper, ginger root, and garlic in a blender and process until smooth.
• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion mixture, lemongrass, and shrimp paste. Stir and fry for about 8 minutes.
• Pour chicken and marinade into the saucepan. Stir and fry until seared on all sides, about 10 minutes. Add potatoes and salt and stir for about 3 minutes. Add broth, making sure chicken and potatoes are covered; add more liquid if necessary. Bring to a boil and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove lid and cook 10 minutes more.

CHICKEN, LEMONGRASS, AND POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• In a food processor, process the lemongrass for about 3 minutes, or until it is a fine, fluffy mass. (You will see a whirling blizzard in the bowl.) Pause occasionally to scrape down the bowl. Add the ginger and pulse to chop finely. Add the onion and process until the mixture forms a paste.
• In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the lemongrass paste and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the curry powder and red chile flakes and continue sauteing for about 1 minute, or until the spices are fragrant. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and coconut milk. The liquid should cover the chicken. If it doesn't, add water as needed. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Add the potatoes and return to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to develop the flavors.
• Reheat the curry over low heat until hot, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching. Taste and adjust the flavors if needed. Add a bit of water to lighten or simmer to deepen. Serve with the lime wedges.

THAI CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Peel shallots or onion and cut in half from top to root. Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre).
• Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan for a couple of minutes until the oil separates (it looks more liquid at this point). Add the shallots or onion. Fry for 3-5 mins, until soft and translucent. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 min, stirring all the time.
• Add chicken pieces and stir until they are coated. Add the lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, lime leaves and coconut milk. Bring slowly to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 mins until the chicken is cooked. Stir the curry a few times while it cooks, to stop it sticking and to keep the chicken submerged.
• While the chicken is cooking, strip the leaves from the coriander stalks, gather into a pile and chop very roughly. Taste the curry and add a little more curry paste and salt if you think it needs it. Stir half the coriander into the curry and sprinkle the rest over the top. Serve with Thai jasmine or basmati rice.
