Klatz curry

40 min

This stew was inspired by the “golden poularde” dish from Umami in Berlin but significantly simplified for easy cooking at home. It has the main ingredients of the original dish: chicken, pumpkins, potatoes, carrots, and coconut milk curry. The main difference is the chicken: instead of crispy breaded chicken we use shredded boiled chicken breast because we usually buy a whole chicken and cook the body in water for soups and we have the cooked meat ready, we dropped the sweet potatoes because we’re not fans, and we dropped the salad and the rice because it’s too much trouble to make them on a regular work day. This is a perfect autumn recipe!

1 whole chicken breast

Prepare the vegetables. Onion: peel, halve, and cut it into 1/2 cm slices. Chili: halve, remove the seeds, and thinly slice. Potatoes and carrots: peel if needed, and cut into large chunks. Pumpkin: peel, remove the seeds, and cut into medium-large chunks.
Cover the bottom of a dutch oven with olive oil, and start warming it on medium heat.
Sauté onion and chili in the dutch oven with a bit of salt, for 2–3 minutes, until transparent.
Add all the vegetables, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook until the vegetables soften a bit.
While the vegetables are cooking, shred the chicken.
