Cambodian Chicken Amok
How many chicken curries is too many? We don't know the answer to that one, but we are pretty sure you can never have too many chicken curry recipes!
This is such a fragrant curry and ultra simple. The method will cook the chicken thoroughly as long as you have cut it into reasonable small pieces. You could add more time if you need to, or just leave the curry in the Thermomix bowl or Thermo Server for a while before eating. It is piping hot after all!
Cambodian curries are very fragrant in a slightly different way to Thai curries, though of course they are neighbours and the flavours are very similar. We loved this one. I think you will too!
