Ingredients for 5 or 6:

• 1/2 - 1 lb. chicken breast or stew beef (cut into cubes)
• 1/2 yellow onion
• 2 carrots
• 1 stalk celery
• 2 large potatoes
• 6 cups water
• 1 tbsp. salad oil
• 2 whole bay leaves
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1/2 tsp. ginger
• 1/2 tbsp. sugar

Optional:

• 1/2 bell pepper
• 2 cups corn

Seasonings:

• 1/2 tsp. coriander
• 1/2 tsp. turmeric (optional) [1]
• 2 tsp. cumin powder
• 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 oz. Golden Curry Sauce Mix [2] (or any Japanese Curry Mix, available at Safeway and other grocery stores)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, saute until sugar and chopped onions become caramelized at medium heat.
   • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
   • 1/2 tbsp. sugar
   • 2 cloves garlic, minced
   • 1 tbsp. salad oil
     
     Caramelized onions.
2. Add and saute together until the meat becomes browned:
   • 1/2 lb. - 1 lb. chicken breast or stew beef (cut into cubes)
   • 1/2 tsp ginger, minced
   • 1/2 bell pepper, chopped (optional)
   • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3. Add and bring to a boil. Skim foam and simmer with a lid for 30 minutes to one hour:
   • 6 cups water
   • 2 whole bay leaves
   • 2 carrots, chopped
   • 2 large potatoes, chopped into thirds
     
4. At this point the potato should be soft. Take out a couple of chunks of potato and mash them. Add the mashed potatoes back to the pot. This will help thicken the curry stew.
5. Add, bring to a boil and simmer covered for 10 minutes:
   • 2 cups corn (optional)
     
6. Add the seasonings and simmer until the sauce mix blends. Stir occasionally.
   • 1/2 tsp. coriander

   • 1/4 tsp. salt
   • 1 oz. Golden Curry Sauce Mix
     
     Golden Curry Sauce mix is 3.5 oz. Use about 1/3 of it.
7. Serve over hot steamed rice.
