Time 1h33m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 bone-in chicken thighs, chopped into 2-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 (1 1/2 inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, chopped
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, chopped
2 teaspoons shrimp paste
2 teaspoons tamarind paste
1 teaspoon chile powder, or to taste
2 cups chicken stock
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 (20 ounce) can young green jackfruit in brine, drained
2 teaspoons Burmese curry powder

Steps:

  • Mix chicken, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and salt together in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate, about 30 minutes.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomato, shrimp paste, tamarind paste, and chile powder; mix until flavors combine, about 1 minute. Stir in chicken with marinade. Cook until chicken is browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir chicken stock and sugar into the wok. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add jackfruit; simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in curry powder. Continue simmering until the internal temperature of the chicken registers 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes more.

I'm not a huge fan of jackfruit, but I really enjoyed this curry. The chicken was tender and the sauce was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

This curry is a must-try for any fan of Southeast Asian cuisine. The combination of chicken and jackfruit is unexpected but works perfectly. The curry sauce is also incredibly flavorful.

Meh. This curry was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

Not a fan of this curry. The jackfruit was too overpowering and the curry sauce lacked depth of flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the jackfruit was a nice addition. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
