Directions
- Cut up the chicken as in the first recipe, discarding the head and reserving the bony pieces to make broth.
- Heat about 50ml of cooking oil in a skillet. Sprinkle the meaty chicken pieces with salt.
- Dredge the chicken in cornstarch and shake off the excess. Lightly fry the chicken pieces in batches, cooking them over a medium-high flame until they're pale golden but not fully cooked. Drain the chicken on paper towels.
- Heat about 20ml of cooking oil in a pan that's about 20cm in diameter. Add the onion, sprinkle lightly with salt, then cook over a low flame until the onion is soft. Increase the heat to medium, then add the ginger and curry powder and stir constantly for 30 seconds. Put the chicken and potato into the pan and add 150ml of water. Bring to the boil then lower the flame, cover partially with the lid and simmer for about 20 minutes. If the mixture seems dry, stir in a little more water. When the potato is tender and the chicken is cooked, add the coconut milk or evaporated milk and bring to the simmer.
- Taste for seasonings and add sugar (if the sauce is too spicy) and salt, if needed. Cook for several minutes then serve.
