This recipe uses Vietnamese-style curry powder found at Asian food stores (usually called 'cari'). If you can't find it, use Madras curry powder. I make mine soupy, but you can make a thick stew by reducing the amount of chicken broth and water by half. Serve with rice or French bread, or both.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
1 onion, cut into chunks
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
⅛ cup thinly sliced fresh ginger root
1 stalk lemongrass, cut into 2 inch pieces
4 tablespoons curry powder
1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 carrots, sliced diagonally
1 quart chicken broth
1 quart water
2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 makrut lime leaves
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
8 small potatoes, quartered
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
1 bunch fresh cilantro
