Kim Dae-seok's Chicken Thigh Curry

A premium curry where the juicy, golden-brown grilled chicken thighs meet rich buttery notes and savory umami from tomato sauce in perfect harmony.

Ingredients needed 4 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Do not slice the chicken thigh before grilling—keeping it whole ensures the juices stay locked in, giving you that crisp exterior and juicy interior texture.
  • Mix butter with vegetable oil when sautéing vegetables to prevent the butter from burning while allowing its rich flavor to deeply penetrate the vegetables.
  • The acidity and savory depth from the tomato spaghetti sauce (or ketchup) balances the richness of the curry, cutting through any heaviness and adding a refined, sophisticated taste.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to enjoy a soft, chewy chicken dish instead of the usual pork curry.
  • People who want a professional-grade curry with rich buttery aroma and a firm, savory tang from tomato sauce.
  • Anyone wanting to enjoy two bowls of rice without worrying about side dishes, paired simply with a side of kimchi.
