Keng Kari Kai recipe

(Thai chicken in Yellow Curry)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds skinned chicken breast filet

2 1/2 cups fresh chicken stock

1 oz of mixed vegetables

2 large potatoes

yellow curry paste

3 tbsp fish sauce

2 tsp sugar

2 1/2 cups thick coconut milk

Preparation:

First boil the 2 large potato's and other strong vegetables you have chosen and cut them into 1 inch cubes, were necessary.

Slice the chicken in to small pieces and boil this chicken meat in chicken stock for 2 minutes, until it is just done.

Remove the chicken, but hang on to the stock for now.

Place the yellow curry paste, fish sauce, sugar and 1 - 1.5 cups of the coconut milk in a large pan.

Bring this mix to a boil and then turn it down to medium-high heat for roughly 20 minutes. By that time the mixture should start to get dry and pasty. Make sure to stir and scrape the pan to prevent sticking or burning of the curry.

If you do not see tiny bells of oil floating to the top you can add 3 tablespoons of the chicken stock in stead. After this bring the mix back to a boil again and down to medium heat for another 3 to 4 minutes. This procedure may have to be repeated once or twice until the little oil bells appear.

Once they do, continue the cooking for another 10 to 15 minutes at medium-high heat, while stirring.

Now add the remaining cup of coconut milk and add 1 (more) cup of the chicken stock.Just before the curry starts to boil again, you should add the chicken, the mixed vegetables and the boiled potato cubes.

Finally you should bring this to a strong boil, but this time without stirring.

This dish is best served on white (thai jasmine) rice with sliced cucumber on a bed of crushed ice.
