Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping the chicken, onions, carrots, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until they turn translucent for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped chicken thighs to the pot and cook them until browned on all sides for roughly 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the carrots and potatoes, then pour in enough water or broth to cover the ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Once boiling, lower the heat and break the curry roux into the pot, stirring well to ensure it dissolves completely.
  6. Allow the mixture to simmer on low for 20-30 minutes, until vegetables become tender and sauce thickens.
  7. Ladle curry into bowls, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve over rice or udon noodles.

Notes

Optional: Consider a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick! Allow the curry to rest for a few minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
