Ingredients
  

Curry Powder

  • 1 teaspoon coriander (ground)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom (ground)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric (ground)
  • 8 whole cloves
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 12 whole peppercorn

Curry

  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil (corn, vegetable, or canola oil)
  • 2 teaspoon garlic (grated)
  • 2 teaspoon ginger root (grated)
  • ½ cup chicken stock (or water)
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 14-oz. can coconut milk
  • 12 oz. waxy potatoes (sliced in ¼-inch rounds)
  • 2 cup turkey (cooked and shredded, or use chicken)
  • cooked rice (or 9 oz. puff pastry)
  • cilantro leaves (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Grind the spices for the curry powder together in a small spice grinder.
  • Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a Dutch oven or a large skillet with raised sides.
  • Add the curry powder and toast for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Add in the ginger, garlic, stock, salt, and sugar. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
  • Add in the coconut milk and the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook for 7-10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the turkey or chicken, warming through.
  • Serve alongside rice with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro.
  • If you'd like to serve the curry with puff pastry, ladle it into individual serving bowls and cover it with a quarter sheet of puff pastry. Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
