Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups (1.4 liters) full-fat coconut milk, with 4 tablespoons of the cream separated out
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
4 to 6 tablespoons (60 to 90 grams) green curry paste
1 (700 grams) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2 1/2-centimeter) dice
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (20 grams) roughly chopped, whole with stems, Thai sweet basil
8 magrut lime leaves, sliced very thin
1 1/2 pounds (700 grams) chicken thighs, patted dry and sliced into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 red bell pepper, middle part sliced, top and bottom diced for garnish
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
  • Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.

Chunks of chicken breast and sliced onions are sauteed in flavorful Thai green curry paste, then cooked in a creamy sauce made with cream cheese, sweet potato, and sliced bell peppers. The first time I made this with 3 tablespoons green curry paste, but that might be a bit too hot.

This is actually my roommate, Michelle's recipe. I request she make it at least once a week and I had to have the recipe for myself because I am soon moving out. All measurements are approximate as she just throws the ingredients together and I just wrote down what it appeared to be. the good news is it seems to work perfectly every time.

Tips:

- Use fresh sweet potatoes: They have a better flavor and texture than store-bought ones. - Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan: If you do, the sweet potatoes will steam instead of roast. - Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and get crispy edges. - Add the curry paste to the coconut milk: This will help it dissolve and distribute evenly throughout the dish. - Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color and flavor to the curry. - Simmer the curry for at least 15 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. - Serve the curry with rice or noodles: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.
