Can I use coconut milk instead of coconut cream?

Coconut milk would work fine in this recipe, if you just adjust the amount of water based on the consistency you want for the sauce. But if you can find it, coconut cream will make this REALLY delicious.

What other protein options would work well here?

This u003ca href=u0022https://pinchofyum.com/thai-yellow-curry-with-beef-and-potatoesu0022u003ebeef curry recipeu003c/au003e is similar and beef would be great! For a vegetarian-friendly option, you could use tofu or chickpeas.

What can I serve with this?

This is really filling as-is, but some type of flatbread (like naan) would be delicious to soak up the curry sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 tablespoon oil
half a yellow onion, sliced thinly
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/3 cup yellow curry paste
10 baby golden yukon potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces

Add the coconut cream and 1/2 cup water to the pot – simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the chicken and potatoes are fully cooked, adding more water depending on the consistency you want for the sauce.
Stir in the fish sauce and brown sugar to really take it up a notch. Seriously – so good. Serve over rice.
