Epic Thai Curry

[JollyRoger]

Yellow Curry Sauce

1/3 cup yellow curry powder
3-8 Thai peppers (depending on how much heat you'd like, I like 8, still very tasty though.)
1/2 med. yellow onion, quartered and peel each layer.
1/2 ginger chopped
4 large cloves garlic minced
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. fresh nutmeg (or substitute cinnamon)
3 Tbsp. fish sauce (available at Asian/Chinese food stores)
1 tsp. Clove
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
1 can coconut milk
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. Olive oil

Meats and Veggies and other ingredients
3 large chicken breasts chopped into pieces  
1 stalk lemon grass
2 red potatoes, sliced, boiled for 10 mins.
1 green and/or red bell pepper, de-seeded and sliced
1 package of frozen stir-fry veggies, thawed   (two make it easy)

2 cups uncooked rice

**Cooking rice**
Start this as you start cooking everything else. Rice can be very easy if you pay attention to it.
I like to rinse my rice and let it soak on cool water for about the time it takes for the water to boil.
You don't need to but it helps make sticky rice, Ilike sticky rice.
Bring water to a boil, once water is boiling add rice, and continue boiling for 5 mins.
Turn down heat to low and cover, for about 25-30min. but check often. you rice will be done when all the water is gone and you see holes in the rice. turn off heat immediately or you rice will burn...burned rice is the suck to clean out of a pan.
...if you have a rice cooker, USE IT. Rice cookers are AWESOME...I Want one.



in a large sauce pan start to saute the first half of you half of onion and garlic over med heat with olive oil. Saute until clear and slightly brown. Next add the coconut milk and allow to boil, then immediately reduce heat to low. Allow to sit while you combine the curry powder, cumin, coriander brown sugar, clove and nutmeg and then add them to the coconut milk, stir until combined completely. At this point add the fish sauce, ginger, and 4 pepper let simmer for 10 min.
