Chicken Leg Curry
Ingredients
Sauce
Steps
Cut the chicken thigh into bite-size pieces and season with salt.
~5 min
Dice the onion, potato, and carrot.
~5 min
Heat oil in a pot and sauté the minced garlic and onion until translucent.
~3 min
Why: Cooking the onion fully draws out its sweetness, which deepens the curry base.
Add the chicken thigh and sauté until the outside is cooked.
~5 min
Add the potato and carrot, pour in the water, and bring to a boil.
~2 min
Once boiling, lower to medium heat and simmer 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked.
~12 min
Watch out: Keeping it on high heat cooks the potato's outside while leaving the center raw — lower to medium and cook slowly.
Stir in the curry powder until dissolved, simmer 5 more minutes until thickened, and serve with rice.
~5 min
Tips
- —
Cook the vegetables fully before adding the curry powder, or an undercooked taste will linger.
- —
Refrigerating overnight and reheating deepens the flavor.
- —
For heat, a little Korean chili powder stirred into the curry powder works well too.
Storage
Refrigerate 3 days, freeze up to 3 weeks — it tastes even better the next day.
