Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Brown the potatoes 2–3 minutes and lift out, then the carrots 1–2 minutes. Pour off the excess oil, leaving about 1 tbsp. 0:20
- Cook the bell peppers for 30–40 seconds and set them aside. 1:14
- Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook until soft. Add the chicken and brown lightly, then add the fish sauce and cook 1 minute. 1:34
- Pour in the coconut milk and water, bring to a simmer and skim off any scum. Cover and simmer on low 20–30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. 2:36
- Return the potatoes and carrots and cook 3–5 minutes until tender. Stir in the curry powder and cook 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. 3:18
- Season with salt and pepper, add the bell peppers for a minute so they stay crisp, and serve hot. 3:54
Tip. Serve with steamed rice. The cook says boneless, skinless thigh or breast also works. Keeps 3 days in the fridge.

Vitamins & minerals % of a day, one serve · tap for more
Selenium High51%
28 µg a serve, mostly from bone-in chicken (88%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.
Vitamin B6 High45%
0.8 mg a serve, mostly from bone-in chicken (54%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.
Vitamin C High40%
36 mg a serve, mostly from red bell pepper (45%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Omega-3 High33%
0.5 g a serve, mostly from canola oil (77%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin A High30%
266 µg a serve, mostly from carrots (73%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Zinc High25%
2.7 mg a serve, mostly from bone-in chicken (72%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.
Iron High22%
4 mg a serve, mostly from bone-in chicken (33%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.
Potassium Source18%
840 mg a serve, mostly from potatoes (36%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.
Magnesium Source18%

Vitamin E Source15%
2.2 mg a serve, mostly from canola oil (36%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.
Vitamin B12 Source14%
0.3 µg a serve, mostly from bone-in chicken (95%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
Vitamin K Source12%
14 µg a serve. Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.
Folate Source12%
48 µg a serve, mostly from potatoes (33%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin D1%
0.1 µg a serve, mostly from bone-in chicken (100%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
