Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Aromatics
Heat the canola oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the Thai red curry paste and stir until it coats the aromatics evenly.
Step 2: Add the Coconut Milk and Vegetables
Pour in the full-fat and light coconut milk. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the potatoes and carrots, then cook for 10–12 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
Step 3: Incorporate the Seasonings and Chicken
Stir in the fish sauce, peanut butter, and kosher salt. Mix until well combined.
Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully submerged in the curry sauce.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Finish the Curry
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lime zest and juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or fish sauce, if needed.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Serve the curry over a bed of prepared brown rice.
Garnish with chopped dry roasted peanuts and fresh cilantro. Enjoy hot!
