Directions

  1. 1

    Cut 1 chicken thigh into bite-sized pieces and season with salt. Place skin-side down in a frying pan and cook until crispy. Once both sides are nicely browned, remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. 2

    In the same pan, add 10g butter, 1 cm of tube garlic, and 1 sliced onion. Sauté until softened.

  3. 3

    Return the chicken from Step 1 to the pan. Add the ★ seasonings and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add 150ml milk, approx. 25g curry roux, and 10g butter. Simmer for another 10 minutes and it's done!

Tips

Don't worry if the chicken isn't fully cooked through at first — it will cook through completely during the simmering process. Adjust the amount of curry roux to around 25g based on your package size. Adding 1–2 tsp of curry powder will give it an even more authentic flavor.
