Ingredients:
3 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
2 medium shallots, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1½-inch pieces
8 ounces Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fish sauce
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 14-ounce can coconut milk
1 tablespoon grated lime zest, plus 1 tablespoon lime juice
⅓ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium, heat the oil until shimmering.
2. Add the shallots and ginger; cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the curry powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken, potatoes, fish sauce and ½ teaspoon pepper; scrape up any browned bits.
4. Stir in the coconut milk and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high, then cover partially, reduce to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until a skewer inserted into the potatoes and chicken meets no resistance, about 30 minutes; the curry will be only lightly thickened.
5. Off heat, stir in the lime zest, juice and cilantro, then taste and season with salt and pepper.
