Main Ingredients
- 1 kg chicken thigh, cubed
- 6 Tbsp Massaman curry paste
- 500 g potatoes, large cubes
- 2 onions, quartered
- 640 ml coconut cream
- 1 tsp tamarind concentrate
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
To Thicken
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 2 Tbsp water
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, add the cubed chicken thigh, Massaman curry paste, large potato cubes, quartered onions, coconut cream, tamarind concentrate, and brown sugar. Mix everything thoroughly until the chicken is well coated with the curry paste and other ingredients.
- Slow Cook: Cook the mixture on low heat for 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken and potatoes to become tender.
- Prepare Thickener: While the curry is finishing, mix the cornstarch and water together until a smooth paste forms.
- Thicken Curry: Stir the cornstarch paste into the curry, then increase the slow cooker to high and cook for an additional 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season and Serve: Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and enjoy this aromatic, comforting curry.
Notes
- The coconut cream may separate during slow cooking, but stirring in cornstarch paste will help bring the sauce back together.
- Additional vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or celery can be added to enhance flavor and bulk up the curry.
- You might want to skim off excess fat from the surface before thickening the sauce.
- Lime juice is a great substitute for tamarind concentrate if desired.
- Chicken thighs are recommended for their tenderness and flavor; however, chicken breasts can be used as an alternative.
