Thai Yellow Curry with Chicken Recipe (Gaeng Karee Gai)
This yellow curry recipe is quite similar to Indian curries as it is made with the addition of curry powder. It is a creamy coconut milk based curry with potatoes making it popular with travelers in Thailand who are missing their native food. If you like, you may make this curry using chicken legs instead of chicken breast.

This type of curry is traditionally served with a type of cucumber salad that s commonly served in Thai restaurants in the West.
