Green Curry with Chicken and Potatoes
Okay, so this meal may not be the most vibrant eye catching meal you have ever seen, but let me tell you it is SO GOOD and SO EASY!!! Don’t believe me? Watch the video, easy peasy!
If you are a curry fan or a fan of Indian food in general you will LOVE this meal. My family licked the pan clean…I really should have made a double batch!
I was a little worried after I added the coconut milk that it was going to be too sweet, but once it had a chance to simmer and mingle with the other flavor’s the coconut flavor was very very subtle and not noticeably sweet at all.
The potatoes gave a nice texture to the meal and also helped to naturally thicken the sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed dipping some Homemade Naan Bread into that tasty sauce.
This was the first time I had attempted a green curry sauce, and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I think you’re gonna love it too!

Where would I find garam masala in the store? And do you think it would taste good with Jasmine rice?
The Graram Masala Should be over by the other spices, at my store I can only find it in the kind of fancy looking glass containers made by McCormick. It would probably taste good with Jasmine or regular, but the thinner longer basmati gives it a little different texture. And DEFINATELY make some Naan bread with it. YUMM! My kids were so funny. At first Thatcher turned his nose up and didn’t want me to put any sauce on his rice. Then he tasted it and had three helping. RASCAL!
I made this for dinner tonight. Winner, winner, chicken dinner! This is going in my food rotation for sure, it was so yummy. Thanks, Maria!
Yeah!!! I love it too, I have coconut milk on my shopping list for this week. 🙂 And you were so smart to double it, I will never make that rookie mistake again!!! 🙂
P.s. I’m really grateful that I doubled the batch so that we have leftovers. Yum!
