Serves:

Prep time:

15 minutes

Cook time:

40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 Carrots (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 Onion (cut into wedges)
  • 3 Yukon Gold Potatoes (cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces)
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 lb Boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • Salt to season
  • Pepper to season
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 4 cups Chicken broth (or water for pre-made curry sauce mix)
  • 1/2 Fuji apple, grated
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 Bay leaf
  • 1 box Curry sauce mix (12 servings) or homemade curry roux

Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add grated ginger and minced garlic, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add chicken to the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes until browned.
  3. Pour in chicken broth or water. Add grated apple, honey, soy sauce, ketchup, cayenne pepper, cumin, and bay leaf. Bring the stock to a boil and skim any scum and fat from the surface.
  4. Add carrots and potatoes, then boil for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Place curry roux in a bowl and ladle cooking liquid over it to dissolve completely before adding to the pot.
  6. Simmer uncovered until the curry thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Taste the curry and add salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

  • You can store the curry in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days and in the freezer for 1 month. The texture of the potatoes will change in the freezer, so take them out before freezing.
  • When reheating, add up to 1/2 cup of water to thin the curry.
