Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 large, dried red chile peppers
½ teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon coriander seed
½ teaspoon ground mace
2 tablespoons peeled and chopped galangal
2 tablespoons thinly sliced lemon grass
1 teaspoon salt
1 shallot, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons fermented shrimp paste
1 tablespoon peeled and chopped fresh turmeric root
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons palm sugar
⅔ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups water
½ cup roasted peanuts
1 (2 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
2 tablespoons tamarind juice
2 tablespoons roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Place the chili peppers in a bowl; pour enough water over the chili peppers to cover. Allow the peppers to soak until softened, about 10 minutes; drain. Chop the peppers and set aside.
  • Grind the cumin, turmeric, coriander, and mace using a mortar and pestle into a fine powder. Add the galangal, lemon grass, salt, shallot, garlic, shrimp paste, fresh turmeric, and reconstituted chile peppers and grind into a paste. Stir the fish sauce and palm sugar into the paste. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add the chicken to the paste and toss to coat the chicken evenly; allow to marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the water, 1/2 cup peanuts, ginger, and tamarind juice into the chicken, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. You can also cook this at a lower temperature for up to 2 hours. Garnish with 2 tablespoons peanuts to serve.

This curry is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. The sweet potatoes and carrots are hidden in the sauce, so they're easy to sneak in.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I substituted almond butter in this recipe. It turned out great! The almond butter gave the curry a rich and creamy flavor.

I love the combination of flavors in this curry. The coconut milk and peanuts give it a creamy and nutty flavor, while the curry paste adds a bit of spice. It's the perfect dish for a cold winter day.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my curry didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have used the wrong type of curry paste.

The curry was a bit too spicy for me, but the flavor was still good. I would recommend using less curry paste if you don't like spicy food.
