-Cook the baby potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes. Then cut in half (be careful they are hot!). Transfer into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of oil, a pinch of salt, pepper and paprika, mix well.
– Once the baking tray is red hot. Put the seasoned potatoes on the baking tray. Turn the oven down to 220 Celsius. Bake the potatoes until they are nice and crispy (approx 25 minutes).

-Add the chicken and cook for a further 7 minutes. Season with fish sauce and sugar.
-Add the Thai coconut milk, bring it to a boil then simmer for 10-12 minutes.
-Transfer the curry into a serving bowl, scatter the roast potatoes, chopped coriander and serve immediately. Enjoy this velvety Thai Yellow Curry with Thai Jasmine rice. Happy Cooking!
Tip:
-I like to squeeze a tiny bit of lemon juice on Thai Yellow Curry to add freshness.
-Please make sure that you get Thai coconut milk only.
-Can’t be bothered to roast those potatoes? Using boiled potatoes works just fine.
