Blend the onions, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass into a paste.
Fry the rempah paste and curry powder in the vegetable oil for 7 minutes, until the oil separates.
Add the chicken thighs and turn them for 8 minutes, until each side takes on color.
Add the potatoes, curry leaves, water, and salt.
Cover the pot and cook for 22 minutes, until the potatoes soften.
Stir in the coconut milk and simmer gently for 8 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Rest the kari ayam for 5 minutes and serve with rice.
💡 Tip: Fry the curry paste in oil before adding the chicken; without that step, the sauce tastes spicy but flat.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kari ayam in deep bowls with plain rice, cucumber slices, and optional lime.
