Directions:
1. Marinate the chicken with salt, pepper, ginger, sugar, garlic, and soy sauce, approx. 1-4 hours
2. In a large dutch oven brown the chicken skin side first, then flip. 3-4 minutes per side. Get a good crust but don’t burn it black.
3. Remove chicken from the pan then add in onions and carrots. Saut้ for 3-4 minutes
4. Add turmeric, cumin, coconut milk, and chicken broth(or water) to the vegetables.
5. Add chicken back into pan and cover with vegetables and sauce.
6. Simmer, covered, for 30 - 45 minutes.
7. If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for a further 15-20 minutes until the sauce is thickened to your taste.

Separately cook 2 cups Jasmine rice (substitute Basmati or long grain if you prefer. Brown rice is perfectly fine too). Don’t ask for instructions - if you can’t boil rice by now you shouldn’t be here.

Serve chicken, vegetables, and sauce over rice and enjoy !
