JAMAICAN CURRY CHICKEN AND POTATOES



Jamaican Curry Chicken and Potatoes image

There's nothing more comforting than chicken and potatoes, and this recipe is no exception. Getting its flavor and heat from a combination of mild Jamaican curry powder and Scotch bonnet pepper, it's not as hot as some Indian or Thai curries. Jamaican curry powder tends to be heavy on turmeric and less on spice, and this recipe uses just one Scotch bonnet pepper, which is kept whole but punctured to gently release flavor. The result is more warming than spicy. Eat this one-pot recipe by itself as a kind of stew, or over rice, letting all the flavors meld together.

Categories     dinner, poultry, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken legs and thighs, skin removed
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 large onion, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons Jamaican hot curry powder, such as Jamaican Choice or Grace, plus more as needed
1 Scotch bonnet or habanero pepper
4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, washed and quartered
1 to 2 quarts chicken stock (reduce or add liquid depending on pot size)
1 dried bay leaf
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1/4 cup cornstarch
White rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Place chicken in a large bowl. Season chicken with the garlic powder, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, making sure it's evenly coated. Let come to room temperature.
  • Heat a deep Dutch oven or heavy pan over medium-high. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add sliced onions, season with salt and pepper. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir to combine, and cook until soft and fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic, stirring to keep the garlic from scorching, and cook for 30 seconds or until tender. Using a pair of tongs or a spoon, remove onions and garlic from the pan; set aside in a bowl.
  • If needed, add more oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the room-temperature chicken to the pan, and sear chicken on both sides, in batches if necessary, until golden brown, about 7 to 8 minutes total.
  • Sprinkle curry powder over and around chicken. Let the spices bloom and toast until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Add reserved onions and garlic to the pan. Using a paring knife, pierce the Scotch bonnet pepper. Add to the pan. Add potatoes, and stir to evenly coat chicken and potatoes.
  • Pour in chicken stock to nearly cover the chicken. Add the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Bring to a simmer. Remove Scotch bonnet pepper. Cover pot and cook for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and falling off the bone. Taste and adjust the curry powder, salt and pepper as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water to form a slurry. (The chicken curry can be eaten as is, like a soup, or slurry can be added to thicken the sauce to a gravy-like consistency.) Add 1 tablespoon of the slurry, and bring to a boil to thicken, adding more slurry to reach desired consistency. Retrieve bay leaf and thyme stems and discard. Serve with rice.

CHICKEN, LEMONGRASS, AND POTATO CURRY



Chicken, Lemongrass, and Potato Curry image

Here is a curry with big flavors, thanks to lots of lemongrass, curry powder, ginger, and chile flakes. The coconut milk unifies all the elements and enriches the dish. For the best Viet flavor, buy Vietnamese-style curry powder (page 327) at an Asian market. Serve the curry in a shallow bowl with a baguette for dipping or spoon it over rice or noodles.

Yield serves 4 to 6 with 2 or 3 other dishes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium or 2 hefty stalks lemongrass, trimmed, quartered lengthwise, and coarsely chopped (about 2/3 cup)
Chubby 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 yellow onion, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1/2 teaspoon dried red chile flakes (optional)
2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks, skin removed
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 can (13 1/2 ounces) coconut milk or 1 2/3 cups freshly made coconut milk (page 318)
4 white or red boiling potatoes, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a food processor, process the lemongrass for about 3 minutes, or until it is a fine, fluffy mass. (You will see a whirling blizzard in the bowl.) Pause occasionally to scrape down the bowl. Add the ginger and pulse to chop finely. Add the onion and process until the mixture forms a paste.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the lemongrass paste and sauté for about 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the curry powder and red chile flakes and continue sauteing for about 1 minute, or until the spices are fragrant. Add the chicken, salt, pepper, and coconut milk. The liquid should cover the chicken. If it doesn't, add water as needed. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Add the potatoes and return to a simmer. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Turn off the heat, cover, and let stand for 30 minutes to develop the flavors.
  • Reheat the curry over low heat until hot, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching. Taste and adjust the flavors if needed. Add a bit of water to lighten or simmer to deepen. Serve with the lime wedges.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cut chicken and frozen peas.
  • For a spicier curry, add more cayenne pepper or red chili flakes.
  • If you don't have lemongrass, you can substitute lemon zest and ginger.
  • Serve the curry with rice, naan, or roti.
  • Garnish the curry with cilantro, mint, or lime wedges.

Conclusion:

This chicken curry with potatoes and lemongrass is a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this curry is sure to please everyone at the table.
