Creamy Yellow Curry Broth Bowl
A cozy and comforting bowl filled with tender chicken and aromatic spices in a rich coconut curry broth.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about a warm bowl of yellow curry on a chilly evening. This recipe is a favorite in my house because it comes together quickly and fills the kitchen with the most wonderful, inviting fragrance.
My best tip for this recipe is to make sure you use full fat coconut milk. It really makes the broth silky and balances out the heat from the curry paste perfectly.

๐ก Tips
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. If the sauce thickens too much while sitting, just add a splash of water or extra broth when reheating it on the stove.
