About Burmese Chicken Curry

Amy and Emily Chung’s Kyet Tha Aloo Hin is the chicken-and-potato version from The Rangoon Sisters’ Burmese family kitchen. Fried potato pieces join chicken thighs in an onion, ginger and garlic base.

Paprika, turmeric and chilli season the curry, with tomatoes providing the sauce’s vegetable body and fish sauce its savoury depth. Sunflower oil is selected from the authors’ cooking-oil alternatives.

Golden potato pieces contrast with the chicken and soft aromatic sauce. The dish comes with steamed rice, while coriander leaves remain an optional garnish, adding a fresh herbal finish when included.
