👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the curry paste: In a small bowl, combine curry powder, turmeric, and a little water to form a paste. Set aside.
2
Heat cooking oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4
Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown them on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.
5
Stir in the prepared curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
6
Add the chopped yams, salt, and pepper to the pot. Pour in the water or chicken broth, ensuring the chicken and yams are mostly submerged.
7
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and the yams are cooked through and soft. Stir occasionally.
8
If using taro leaves or spinach, stir them into the stew during the last 10-15 minutes of cooking, allowing them to wilt and soften.
9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, traditionally with rice or roti.
