Hearty Curry Chicken (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 2 big carrots, chopped small
03 - 1 small onion, white, diced finely
04 - 4 minced garlic cloves
05 - 2 celery sticks, chopped into small pieces
06 - 2 tablespoons of olive oil

→ Main Ingredients

07 - 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk, full-fat (or half and half)
08 - 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
09 - 2 teaspoons of garam masala
10 - 5 cups of chicken or veggie stock
11 - 2/3 cup of frozen green peas
12 - A bit of sea salt and fresh black pepper, to your taste
13 - 1 tablespoon curry powder
14 - 1 pound of Yukon gold potatoes, cut into small chunks

# Instructions:

01 - Pour the oil into a big pot and set it over medium-high heat. Toss in the onion first and cook for a few minutes. Add diced celery and carrots, stirring for another few minutes. Finally, stir in the chopped garlic and give it a couple of minutes.
02 - Sprinkle in the flour and mix it constantly for around a minute, ensuring it doesn't stick.
03 - Pour in stock, potatoes, curry, garam masala, and the chicken pieces. Stir everything together thoroughly.
04 - Turn the heat down to medium-low after bringing it to a simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes soften.
05 - Add the peas and coconut milk. Mix well, then season with salt and black pepper as you like.

# Notes:

01 - Use veggie stock and beans instead of chicken to make it veggie-friendly.
02 - Replace flour with a mixture of cornstarch and water (3-4 tablespoons) to make it gluten-free.
03 - Swap coconut milk with half and half if you'd prefer.
