Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Finely chop aromatics (lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves) to avoid tough bits in curry.
- • Sauté aromatics and curry paste gently to release flavors without burning.
- • Simmer chicken in curry base, not separately, for maximum flavor infusion.
- • Add coconut milk only after chicken is partially cooked and do not boil vigorously.
- • Taste before adding salt; curry paste may already be salty.
Safety Warnings
- • Galangal can be tough and fibrous; chop finely to avoid choking hazard.
- • Be cautious with hot oil and splattering when frying aromatics and garnish.
- • Wash hands after handling raw chicken to prevent cross-contamination.
