Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 kg (2.2 lb) chicken thigh, cubed
  • 6 Tbsp Massaman curry paste
  • 500g (1.1 lb) potatoes, large cubes
  • 2 onions, quartered
  • 640ml (21.6 fl oz) coconut cream
  • 1 tsp tamarind concentrate
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

To Thicken

  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, add the cubed chicken thigh, Massaman curry paste, potatoes, quartered onions, coconut cream, tamarind concentrate, and brown sugar. Stir well until the chicken is evenly coated with the curry mixture.
  2. Slow Cook: Cook the mixture on low heat for 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and for the chicken to become tender.
  3. Prepare Thickening Paste: Mix cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until it forms a smooth paste.
  4. Thicken Curry: Stir the cornstarch paste into the curry sauce in the slow cooker. Increase the heat to high and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes or until the sauce has thickened slightly to a creamy consistency.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot and enjoy this flavorful Massaman chicken curry.

Notes

  • The coconut cream may separate during slow cooking but adding the cornstarch mixture helps to bring it back together.
  • Add extra vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or celery to enhance flavor and add bulk.
  • Skim any excess fat from the surface before thickening with the cornstarch paste if necessary.
  • Lime juice can be used as a substitute for tamarind concentrate for a slightly different tang.
  • Chicken thighs are recommended for best flavor and tenderness, but chicken breasts can also be used.
