Instructions
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook until they're browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion, sliced carrot, and chopped potato. Cook the vegetables until they begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder to the pot. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the spices are fragrant.
- Pour the chicken broth and coconut milk into the pot. Stir well to combine the spices, vegetables, and liquids.
- Add the browned chicken back into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. This allows the chicken to cook through and the flavors to meld together.
- After simmering, stir in the soy sauce, sugar, and salt. Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve the Tama Curry hot, poured over a bed of cooked rice. Enjoy!
