How to Make Curry Chicken with Potato and Peas

Curry chicken with potato and peas is a flavorful, one-pot dish loved for its rich aroma and tender ingredients. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to recreate this comforting meal at home.

Ingredients:

500g chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes; 2 large potatoes, diced; 1 cup frozen peas; 1 onion, chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tbsp curry powder (adjust to taste); 1 can (400ml) coconut milk; 2 tbsp cooking oil; salt and pepper to season.

Instructions:

1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes).

2. Brown Chicken: Add chicken cubes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden on all sides (5–7 minutes).

3. Add Spices & Vegetables: Stir in curry powder, coating the chicken evenly. Add diced potatoes and frozen peas, mix well.

4. Simmer: Pour in coconut milk, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked through.

5. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and add more salt, pepper, or curry powder if needed. Simmer for an extra 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread. This versatile dish can be customized with carrots, bell peppers, or a splash of lemon juice for brightness. Enjoy your homemade curry feast!
