Yield:
1 pot (serves 4)
Instructions:
-
Heat the oil: In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
-
Add sugar: Remove the pot from the heat briefly and stir in the raw sugar. Return the pot to the heat and allow the sugar to caramelize until it reaches a golden brown color.
-
Brown the chicken: Add the chicken (both breasts and tenderloins) to the pot. Stir the chicken until it’s evenly browned.
-
Add aromatics: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes to soften the onions and allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Incorporate other ingredients: Add the diced potatoes, salt, and curry powder to the pot. Mix well.
-
Add water: In a separate bowl, mix the curry powder with 2 to 2 1/2 cups of water, then pour this mixture into the pot. Add more water if needed to ensure the liquid just covers the ingredients.
-
Increase the heat: Turn the heat to high to bring the curry to a boil.
-
Simmer: Once the curry comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender, about 20-25 minutes.
-
Mash potatoes: To thicken the curry sauce, use a spoon or masher to mash down some of the cooked potatoes in the pot, creating a richer, thicker consistency.
-
Final simmer: Let the curry simmer for an additional 5 minutes to fully combine the flavors and thicken further.
-
Serve: Serve the curry hot, either in a bowl or wrapped in a Roti bread. To make a Roti wrap, place a small amount of the curry mixture in the center of the bread, fold the bottom over the filling, then fold the top down, and finally, fold the sides in to seal the wrap.
