Curried Chicken and Potato Stew

A steaming bowl of comforting soup is always a nice way to make the frigid cold and wind that howls outside of my house seem just a little bit less daunting. It doesn’t have to be fancy – a simple chicken and rice or tomato soup would suffice just fine. Heck, a piping bowl of plain old chicken broth is even comforting to me when I can’t stop my whole body from compulsively shivering. And although these simple soups and broths may warm me up momentarily and provide a brief 30 minute feeling of consolation, if you give me a hot bowl of curried chicken stew, I might feel warm and fuzzy inside all night long and think that maybe I could almost become friends with wintertime. Almost.

Most people think that curry itself is a spice, but in actuality it’s a plethora of spices that are blended together to create layers of complex flavor. Every cook has their own recipe, making the taste vary slightly from person to person; and while the variety of spices are endless, the most commonly used in yellow curry are coriander, cumin, mustard, chili powder, ginger, garlic, cardamom, cinnamon, and tumeric –giving the curry it’s yellow color. The final product can be used in many different ways, but one of my favorite preparations is a kind of spin on a classic chicken curry with rice, but in a stew form.

I start out by sautéing a little bit of onion and garlic in butter and olive oil, and then add a combination of starchy russet potatoes and sweet potatoes to the mixture. A blend of chicken stock and slightly sweet coconut milk are added to the pot to create a savory broth before the aromatic and pungent yellow curry powder is swirled into the mixture. It’s then hit with a pinch of turmeric and minced Serrano chili peppers for a slight kick and depth of flavor. The whole thing comes together with the addition of some Asian lo mein noodles, tender chicken and vibrant green peas. Ahh, comfort in a bowl.

    Found this recipe on foodgawker.com and made it tonight. I used about 7 small yukon potatoes rather than a russet and a sweet potato, and then a jalepeno rather than a serano pepper…and no peas because I didn’t have any. When following the instructions, it was a little too bland for me, but I added about 1/2-3/4 cup more of coconut milk and a little more curry powder and turmeric, and my husband and I loved it. Oh, i also added about 1/2 cup fresh diced tomatoes just because I needed to use them up.

    Curry recipes are usually so complex and have all kinds of ingredients, but this had really good flavor!
