chicken dry brined overnight
peppers
carrot
galangal
ginger
coriander root
chilis
kaffir lime leaves
lemon
fish sauce
sugar
coconut cream

coriander root scraped and ground with a little salt

an anon suggested using this last curry thread so thanks it was good

ginger, galangal, ground coriander root
garlic, chili, kaffir lime leaf

chicken browned in ghee

aromatics frying

in with everything else

then i added some dark stock (roasted chicken carcass + onion) to get the level just below the skin so the meat braises and flavours the curry and the skin stays crispy

into the oven for ~35 mins

final step take the chicken out and add some fish sauce and lemon juice to the sauce

wa la

Nice, have you got a kaffir lime tree? That looks like a lot of fresh leaf for that much curry.

Also turn a light on ya fucking grue.

yeah i do lol

anyone got any ideas on making the color better short of using turmeric and making it yellow? I read chili leaves but my chili leaves don't taste good. I'd like it to be green, the chicken stock kinda makes it grey. Tastes pretty damn great though.

too many memes

Nothing about that looks crispy or appetizing.

It looks like someone threw up on some nice chicken. Your lighting sucks

Cut your veggies up smaller.
Learn how to take a photo.

Looking nice friend. 10/10 would eat

Maybe, coriander/basil/mint this would give you the color but change the flavor a bit too.

Also don't listen to people here talking about lighting, your images look nice and rustic

>>12217795
fag

>>12217795
The lighting only compliments the chicken in the dish. Makes the rice and curry look dark and sloppy

Nobody cares about your pretentious opinions, put the up your ass like you do with black cocks

>>12217873
It's not pretentious. You're posting images on an image forum. Unless you want them to look bad ironically, you should at least make an attempt at a decent quality picture

>>12217906
I think you need to go to an opthalmologist

>>12216326
looks great anon, would eat

>>12216439
Way more coriander leaf, brotendo.

>kaffir
Cool it with the racism

>>12217915
I think you need a light bulb

>>12219637
sorry lol, makrut lime

>>12217906
that's not me calling you a dick. I don't mind criticism of my photos, infact, please. I do try. It's just my dining room table light though & i'm not going to let the food get cold either. They're not great photos, you're right. I do think in this instance though, it's more that the colour of the curry is bad, and i did ask about that.
Pic related is the last thing I cooked, under the same light on my table and i think that looks better.

So yeah I think the issue is more that my stock was grey and I didn't use any colourful spices and I just used the coriander stalks and root and the curry was kinda grey.

Yeah this is probably the way to go. I think the problem is if i want them to break down (maybe even immersion blend them into the sauce) im gonna have to simmer them for quite a long time and I normally like adding them at the end because they taste better. Also the taste this time was perfect, it didn't need herbs. Maybe I should just go and get some green food colouring lol. Do thai restaurants do that i wonder. It seems really wrong. Or just have another yellow curry with fresh turmeric like i always do, but i don't like that taste with galangal and the galangal was great.

>crispy
>braised
We have different definitions of crispy. And mine is correct.

>>12220269
the skin was crispy friend. it never touched the liquid. the meat braised and the skin roasted. plus dry brining it then browning it in ghee made it super crispy

first time doing a curry with this technique, i normally do other stuff like this. I think it's a really good way to get the best of both worlds.

I honestly would have de-boned and cubed the chicken before putting it in the curry

>>12220379
I do that sometimes too
try it this way one day, with the crispy skin, in the oven, it's really good

>>12220278
Don't worry about it buddy. Ignore shitty criticism by another cu/ck/tard

shit
