Yellow Curry

Start with 5 cans of regular coconut milk - don’t shake, let the cream come to the top.  Scrape off the cream and use below:

12 oz coconut cream

10 oz heavy cream

reduce over high heat.

add:

4 oz Mae Ploy Curry paste, yellow (add a bit of cream to thin)

2 cinnamon sticks

2 star anise pods

2 tbsp. cardamon powder

then add rest of coconut milk, 5 cans.  Boil 10 minutes, then turn down to a simmer.

add:

3 oz brown sugar

soy sauce to taste (for a more authentic Thai flavor use fish sauce)

lime juice to taste

add:

6 medium potatoes

1 large onion

Cook until vegetables are tender.  Serve over rice with cilantro and peanuts.

If you like you can cook some chicken and add to the curry too.  This curry always tastes better the next day after the flavors meld.
