Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potato and carrot wedges and fry until lightly browned, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed, and sauté minced garlic and chopped onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
  3. Add the chicken pieces, searing each side for about 1 minute until golden brown.
  4. Sprinkle in fish sauce, curry powder, paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir to coat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low, pour in coconut milk, and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Reintroduce the fried potatoes, carrots, sliced bell pepper, and fresh chili pepper, cooking for an additional 3–5 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, ideally with steamed rice.
