Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the whole cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods, if using.

• Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds or until the raw smell disappears. Add the green chili pepper, tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes become soft. Add the potato, green bell pepper, spice powders (coriander, cumin, turmeric, black pepper, and red chili flakes), and salt and stir.
• Increase the heat to high. Add the chicken and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until the chicken changes color. Add the coconut milk and yogurt and bring the mixture to a light boil.
• Lower the heat to low-medium, cover and allow to simmer for 15-16 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and vegetables are cooked through. Uncover and raise the heat to allow the sauce to thicken for 2-3 minutes, if desired.
• Taste and adjust salt and seasoning. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with white basmati rice.

THAI GREEN CURRY WITH CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
• Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
• Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.
