Curried Chicken Recipe (Kari Ayam) (Serves 4)

What you will need:

180g Mama Tan’s Curry Paste
1kg boneless chicken thighs (cut into bite size cubes)
4 medium potatoes (peeled & cut into chunks)
400ml coconut milk
Approx 80ml water
1 tbsp. soy sauce (optional)

Mamatans Malaysian Curried Chicken

To prepare:

Marinate the chicken with Mama Tan’s Curry Paste in a bowl, making sure it's coated well.
Cover the bowl with cling film and place in the fridge for at least an hour or if you have time and planning ahead, leave it overnight.
Heat the saucepan and fry the chicken for about 1-2 minutes.
Add a few tbsp. of water then add the potatoes and cook for a further 1 minute. Keep stirring to avoid the food sticking to the saucepan.
Add coconut milk and simmer on medium heat with lid on for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are cooked.
Serve with plain boiled rice and garnish with fresh slice cucumber.

(Hints and tips)

My dad loves to add a tiny amount of light soy sauce on his curry. Why not give it a go and see if you like it too?
