Steps

60 mins

1

Place wok over medium-high heat. Add curry powder, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and cayenne. Dry fry for 1-2 mins until lightly toasted and fragrant.
2

Add 2 Tbsp. oil, plus the onions, red pepper, garlic, and ginger. Also add a few Tbsp. of the chicken stock - enough to keep ingredient frying nicely. Stir-fry 1 minute.
3

Add the chicken and potatoes, stir-frying 1 minute to coat with the spices.
4

Add remaining stock plus ketchup, stirring well to combine. Finally, add the coconut milk, fish sauce, and sugar.
5

Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to simmer for 15 minutes or until cooked.
6

When chicken is cooked and tender, taste-test the curry for saltiness and flavor, adding more fish sauce as needed until desired flavor/salt level is achieved. Also add more cayenne, chili sauce, or fresh-cut chilies if you prefer it spicier. If it's too spicy, add more coconut milk or a little plain yogurt. Add a little more sugar if it's too sour for your taste.
7

Sprinkle coriander and enjoy with rice!
