Gang-Garee-Gai (Yellow Curry with Chicken)


mmmm...... the Smell of Thai Food Cooking in the Kitchen!! So Fabulous!! I LOVE Curry and one of my Fave curry dishes is Gang-Garee-Gai (Yellow Curry with Chicken). The first time I had it I was Pregnant with Roxie and After going to my Midwife appt. I decided to try out a new place for Lunch. Thai Basil in Downtown sac. I ordered and Fell in LOVE and went back and ordered the same thing after every midwife appt. for the rest of my pregnancy!! Now it's been 19 or so months since i have been to Thai Basil to have my beloved Gang-Garee-Gai so i decided to try to make it at home!! after all it is just Chicken, potatoes, onions and carrots simmered in mild yellow curry and coconut milk. Served over Rice!! YUM!Plus an Added Bonus!! I didn't alter this recipe!!! the Real Recipe uses Coconut Milk!! YEAH!! So that is what I have simmering in the pot as type!!
INGREDIENTS
approx 4-6 cups water in a medium stock pot. (I actually prefer 2 cartons of Chicken Broth)
2-3 skin on, bone in chicken legs w/thighs.
1/4 of a large red onion.
4 chopped red potatoes.
a couple handfuls of chopped baby carrots.

approx 3-5 TBSP. Yellow Curry Powder (amount totally depends on the quality of your curry)
1 can of coconut milk. (maybe a little less)
salt to taste


*optional* a quick Drizzle of Honey really brings out the curry flavor
bring all Ingredients except coconut milk to a boil and simmer till chicken and veggies are cooked through. Add the coconut milk shortly before serving!
 

*optional* Serve over Brown Rice and Enjoy!! Deliciousness!!
