400g
1 onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
16g
1 tsp curry powder
5g
1 tsp turmeric powder
5g
1 tsp chili powder
5g
2 potatoes
400g
2 cups coconut milk
460g
1 cup peas
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Grate the ginger root.
- Peel and dice the potatoes.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large pot or deep skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- Add the chicken pieces to the pot. Brown the chicken on all sides for about 5-7 minutes until they are lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
4. Sauté the Aromatics:
- In the same pot, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Stir and cook for another minute until fragrant.
5. Add the Spices:
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Stir well to coat the onions and release the spice aromas.
6. Combine and Cook:
- Add the diced potatoes to the pot, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture.
- Pour in the 2 cups of coconut milk, stirring to combine all the ingredients.
- Return the browned chicken to the pot, making sure the pieces are submerged in the liquid.
7. Simmer:
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
8. Add the Peas:
- Stir in 1 cup of peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
9. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the curry hot with rice or naan bread.
10. Enjoy:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and enjoy your homemade Chicken, Pea, and Potato Curry!

Tips:

- To enhance the flavor of your curry, marinate the chicken thighs with a bit of salt, pepper, and half the curry powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.

- For a smoother sauce, finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger or use a food processor to blend them into a paste.

- If you want to add more vegetables, consider adding bell peppers or spinach towards the end of the cooking process.

- To control the level of heat, adjust the amount of chili powder according to your taste preference.

- For a thicker curry, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes to allow the sauce to reduce.
