Gai Pad Pung Kari (Chicken With Curry)
2 tablespoon oil
2 garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
4 oz chicken breast coarsely chopped
1 small onion chopped
1 medium potato diced small
1 tablespoon chicken stock
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 pinch sugar
4 tablespoon coconut milk
We like to include at least one curry in a full meal and in the next chapter I'll show how to
make up the different pastes that are the basis of the four main curries. However, before we start
the business of pounding spices, we have easier dishes like this which use ready-made curry
powder-a medium Indian curry powder will do. In a work or frying pan, heat the oil until a light
haze appears. Add the garlic and fry until golden brown. Add the curry powder, stir to mix
thoroughly and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken, stir and mix until the meat is coated with the
curry mixture. Add the onion, potato and 4 Tbs. stock, and cook, stirring constantly until the
potato is al dente. If the mixture becomes, dry add a little more stock. Add the fish sauce, sugar,
and coconut milk, stirring after each is slightly thickened.
