Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 450g boneless chicken thigh
  • a little cooking oil
  • a little salt
  • a little pepper
  • 1 piece butter (about 15-20g)
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 tbsp yellow curry powder
  • 2 tbsp tomato pasta sauce
  • 1 tbsp gochugaru
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic

Recipe 🍳

  1. Rinse the chicken thighs lightly under running water and cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add cooking oil to a pan and place the trimmed chicken in it. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown on both sides.
  3. When the chicken is cooked, add 1 piece of butter for a rich flavor and cook until fully melted.
  4. Add the finely chopped onion generously and sauté together until the onion surface turns brown.
  5. Once the onion is golden, pour in 2 cups of milk for a creamy curry base.
  6. Then add 2 tbsp curry powder, 2 tbsp tomato pasta sauce, 1 tbsp gochugaru, and 1 tbsp minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the seasonings without lumps.
  7. Over low heat, gently stir the sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens to a jam-like consistency.
  8. Place rice into a bowl, top with the finished curry, and optionally sprinkle with parsley powder to taste.
  1. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook in a pan until golden.
  2. Add butter and onion and stir-fry, then mix in milk, curry powder, tomato sauce, gochugaru, and garlic to make the sauce.
  3. Simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, then serve with rice.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The more the onion is caramelized by sautéing well, the deeper the sweetness and umami of the curry become.
  • If the curry becomes too thick, add more milk; if too thin, add a little more curry powder to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Butter can burn easily, so it's best to add it when the chicken is almost cooked to infuse the flavor.
