Instructions

1

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Saute the onion for 4-5 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize.

2

Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until the outside is white. Add the carrots and potatoes, stir for 1 minute.

3

Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are fork-tender.

4

Turn off the heat. Break the curry roux blocks into pieces and add to the pot. Stir until completely dissolved.

Tip: The roux dissolves best when the liquid is off the heat. Adding it to boiling liquid can cause clumps.

5

Return to low heat and simmer for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until the curry thickens. Stir in soy sauce and honey.

6

Serve the curry over steamed rice. It tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop.
