Recipe Tips

  • The coconut cream may split due to the long cooking time. Do not worry, as adding the cornstarch will help bring it all back together.
  • More vegetables such as carrots, bell peppers, or celery can be added to this curry. It is an excellent way of adding more flavor and bulking it out a little.
  • You may need to skim the fat off the top of the curry before thickening it with the cornstarch mixture.
  • Lime juice is an excellent alternative to tamarind concentrate.
  • The cut of chicken you use is entirely up to you. I recommend chicken thigh, but chicken breasts will work just as well.
