This is the one curry my mother would make for special occasions, so it has always held a special place in my heart. It’s a mild, comforting curry with gentle spice and a natural sweetness from coconut milk and vegetables—onion, long beans, bamboo shoots, carrots, and potatoes—prepared with generous pieces of chicken.
Traditionally, you can enjoy it with rice noodles or a fresh baguette. My favorite is the baguette, torn into pieces and dipped into the rich, fragrant curry. — Chef Channy

* Most Cambodian would like to make this curry with whole chicken with bones and all. This can be done by double this recipe, and replace chicken broth with water. Also you will need to increase the cooking time to ensure the chicken is completely cooked.
