<p>Thai Yellow Chicken Curry with Potatoes - the ultimate comfort food that is surprisingly easy to make! So perfectly savory with just a teensy bit of sweet.</p>

Thai Yellow Chicken Curry with Potatoes

yellow onion, sliced thinly

chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

yellow curry paste

baby golden yukon potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces

coconut cream (it’s like coconut milk, but even more luscious)

water

fish sauce (optional)

brown sugar (optional)

cilantro and rice

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium low heat. Add the onions and saute for a few minutes until the onions are fragrant and softened. Add the chicken and curry paste; saute for 3-5 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir to coat with the curry paste.

Yellow Curry Chicken and Potatoes Step 3

I hope to not sound rude at all, but I wish people would only comment if they have made the recipe. Drooling comments are nice but not helpful to those looking to make it.  I DID make the easy homemade curry paste and have made the curry 4 times now. To be honest the paste was a bit of a pain the day of but so worth it when you just pull those little flavor disks out of the freezer to make fabulous, quick yellow curry! (And knowing it was made of all fresh ingredients). My brother brought over takeout yellow curry the other day and my adult foodie kids said mine (yours) was better! Thank you for providing this amazing recipe.

This is my go to curry recipe - it is absolutely delicious (better than most restaurants!)

I make few adjustments  for personal preference (they are tips from a good friend who was a chef in Bangkok:)

1. I use the Maesri ‘Masaman’ Curry Paste (found is most Asian grocery stores or on Amazon - just becareful not to buy the sour curry which is also in the yellow can)

2. I sauté the onion with curry paste to make it fragment before adding the chicken/potato/carrot 

3. I also prefer coconut milk over coconut cream - my favorite brand is Chaokoh. 

4. Adding a few Kefir Lime leaves while the sauce simmers definitely takes it to the next level. I usually use 2 leaves and tear the leaves slightly to help the flavor develop. 

Lastly the fish sauce and sugar are a must!

Thank you for sharing - this is amazing! Just made it tonight and we are in food coma :)  OK, I had to twist it a little, didn't have dry chilli, so used the crushed chilli and made paste for 1 time only, so cut amount of ingredients. Oh, and used regular onion instead of shallots. And stewed it on minimum for about an hour and a half and to be honest it could do with extra half an hour. But the flavors, OMG! It was so, so good, so worth it! Loved it and definitely goes to my favorites. If you didn't do it yet, do it! My husband said that he feels like he is back to Thailand :) never made yellow curry before, but not looking for other receipts, happy to stick to this one :)

This isn’t just tastebud tantalizing, but it is mind fooling too – fooled my mind into thinking.

I love these vibrant colors and confess that I have never made my own curry - looks like it's time to start!!!

This is insanely delicious! I make the curry paste and store it in the freezer in 1/3c portions. Then cooking the next batch is so easy. Definitely worth the effort!

Made it yesterday and LOVED it!! Thanks for the recipe. I love eating curries and now I can say I know how to make a great one! Yaaay! 

I used fresh red Thai chilis (that's all I could find) and they were delicious but I used 10 and it was super hot! I love spicy food, and I definitely enjoyed it but took a few "tongue panting, must drink milk" moments. Might use 7 ish next time. There will absolutely be a next time! :) Delicious!

I’m trying to recreate a yellow curry I ate every other day while living in Seattle. If I use coconut milk will the broth me thinner? The curry I had before had a lot of broth I loved to soak up with the rice

I just made the yellow curry chicken &amp; potatoes recipe. It was easy and tastes like the one I love at the Thai restaurant near me. I served it on rice. My family enjoyed it. Thanks!

OMG!!!!! So delicious and so easy.  I did add the fiah sauce and wow!  I could eat this every day.  Served with Basmati Rice and  Naan.

There are quite a few ingredients involved but if you truly want the best, it&#39;s worth it!This is a creation the RecipeTin Team is proud to call our own - we worked damn hard on it! (Then we celebrated by making another 100 as the first meals we donated through RecipeTin Meals ❤️)SPICINESS: Adjust by varying fresh chilli. Use 1 for extremely mild, 2 for quite mild, 4 for spicy (but not blow-your-head off).

Thai Yellow Egg Curry

Large Eggs

TBLS

½ Red Onion (or yellow

1.5 TBLS minced Ginger

2–6 Prik Kee Nu Green Chilies (optional),

carrots

Baby Corn –

2-4 TBLS Thai Yellow Curry Paste (I use Mae Ploy’s)

TSP Corn Starch + ½ cup water (mixed together to make a slurry)

TSP Turmeric Powder

TSP Thai Chili Powder (optional),

TBLS Fish Sauce

TBLS Lime

Baby Spinach

TBLS chopped fresh Coriander (Cilantro)

Prepare the ingredients

Chop the red onion, garlic, ginger, Bird’s Eye red chilies, Prik Kee Nu green chilies (if using), carrots, potatoes, baby corn, makrut lime leaves, and coriander as indicated in the ‘Ingredients’ section. Thinly shave the coconut sugar disc with a knife. Whisk together the corn starch and water in a small measuring cup (for easier pouring) or bowl until combined well and a slurry has formed.

Prep:

Boil the eggs

Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Use a slotted spoon to gently place the eggs in the pot, one at a time. Boil for 8 minutes for medium-boiled eggs, or 10 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Transfer the eggs using the slotted spoon to an ice bath (a bowl filled with water and ice). Peel after 10 minutes.

Fry the eggs

Heat 3 tablespoons of canola oil in a large wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the eggs and sauté until lightly golden and blistered on all sides – about 6-7 minutes. Use tongs to hold the eggs up and brown the tips too. Transfer to a paper towed lined plate to drain, then slice in half and set aside. Scoop out and discard any crispy browned bits in the wok and set it back on the stovetop.

Sauté onion and aromatics

Heat the oil in the wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the red onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the red chilies and Prik Kee Nu green chilies (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add the veggies

Add the carrots, potatoes, and baby corn and sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.

Build the curry

Add the Thai yellow curry paste and stir-fry for a minute to break it down and combine with the veggies. Then pour in the coconut milk. Give the corn starch slurry a quick stir with a spoon (the corn starch will have settled at the bottom), then pour it into the wok and stir to combine.

Stir in the seasonings

Stir in the turmeric powder, Thai chili powder (if using), finely minced makrut lime leaves, coconut sugar, and fish sauce. Turn the heat down to medium and cover the wok. Simmer for 20-24 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.

Add the lime juice, greens, and eggs

Stir in the lime juice, baby spinach, and chopped coriander. Taste and adjust seasonings by adding more lime juice or sugar if needed. Add the halved eggs and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the eggs have heated through. Then switch off the heat. (Note: If you’re not particular about presentation, you can stir the eggs into the curry and simmer for 3 minutes or until heated through instead.)

To Serve

Garnish with more chopped coriander and sliced red chili, and serve with warm steamed rice and lime wedges for squeezing if desired.

For the Thai Yellow Egg Curry:

Huge flavor and so good with eggs.  Certainly comfort food at it's finest! I love it.

This Yellow Thai Curry recipe will keep you coming back time and time again with it's addictive flavor!

Thai Yellow Chicken Curry

tbsp avocado oil

chicken

onion (12 ounces)

carrots (about 12 ounces)

potatoes

tbsp yellow curry paste

tsp turmeric

full fat coconut milk

tbsp lime zest (or 2 kaffir lime leaves if available)

lime juice (or to taste)

peanut butter (or to taste, or cashew butter

tbsp fish sauce (optional)

tsp sea salt (more or less to taste if you use the fish sauce)

baby spinach (4-6 ounces, chopped)

fresh cilantro

peanuts (or cashews

lime wedges

To prepare the onion, slice off both ends, then cut the onion in half from the top to the bottom. Peel away the tough outer layer, and place both halves flat side down on the cutting board. Then cut across the rounded top into 1/4&quot; thick half-moon slices. Set the onion aside along with the thinly sliced carrots, and assemble the rest of the ingredients.

Place a 12&quot; skillet or medium-sized pot, (5 1/2 quarts) over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the avocado oil and cubed chicken thighs. Sauté the chicken until it&#39;s just done and browned, and remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Add the onion and carrots to the pan, and cook just until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes. Then add the curry paste, potatoes, and turmeric. Stir to combine, breaking up the curry paste, about 1 minute. Finally, add the coconut milk and lime zest.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until the curry has thickened and the veggies are tender, 10-15 minutes.

To finish the curry add the chicken back to the pan along with the lime juice, nut butter of choice, and fish sauce if you&#39;re using it. Stir to combine, then add sea salt to your taste.

Turn the heat off and add the chopped baby spinach. Stir to combine and let the curry sit just long enough for the spinach to wilt, about 3-4 minutes.

Serve the curry with your choice of toppings, and your choice of veggie noodles/rice/cauliflower rice.
