[zhemao]

This is a hearty meat and vegetable dish that I've been making for a while. Just made some today, so I thought I'd post a recipe.

Ingredients:

• Chicken thigh


• Coconut milk


• Curry powder


• Black pepper


• Garlic


• Onion


• Carrots


• Potatoes


• Dried black mushroom


• Vegetable oil


• Salt


• Dried chili flakes or chili paste/chili oil

Directions:

1. Cut the chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces


2. Sprinkle on some black pepper and dust with curry powder. Mix to spread evenly


3. Put the seasoned chicken in a sealable container and pour in coconut milk


4. Stir so that the chicken is covered, then put it in the fridge to marinate for 15-30 min


5. Finely chop the garlic, peel and chop the onion, carrots, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces


6. Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl of water to reconstitute


7. Bring a pan to medium high heat and add a spoonful of oil


8. Toss in the vegetables and garlic and stir fry until they are slightly browned


9. Turn off the heat and set aside the veggies


10. Take out the chicken and coconut milk and place it in the pan, turn to medium heat


11. Once the coconut milk starts to boil and the chicken changes color, add the vegetables back in


12. Squeeze out the water from the mushrooms and put them in the pot


13. Add the mushroom water as needed


14. Add a generous amount of additional curry powder until the broth turns a golden brown


15. Turn the heat to low and cover. Simmer until cooked.


16. Add salt if necessary, then add the chili pepper. Turn off the heat and serve.
