Prepare your chicken. In a large bowl, coat the chicken thighs in the cumin, coriander and salt. Make sure the rest of your veg is prepared and we’re ready to start cooking!
Heat the oil in a large, deep wok or pan, sear the chicken thighs over a high heat, skin-side down, for 5-10 minutes, until crispy and showing colour, then flip and cook for 3-4 minutes, once cooked through, remove from the pan and set aside.
Melt the butter in the same pan, reduce the heat to medium, sauté the shallot, garlic and ginger for 2 minutes, until fragrant, stir in the curry paste and cook for 1 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes and chicken stock. Cover and leave to simmer for 10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender enough to poke a fork through, then stir in the coconut milk.
Slice the chicken thighs and add back to the pan, along with the cumin, chilli powder and sugar. Simmer for 5-10 minutes over a medium heat, stirring occasionally, once the curry has reached you desired consistency, season with salt to taste and you are ready to serve.
Garnish your jasmine rice with a sprinkling of chilli powder. Serve the curry over the jasmine rice. Add your garnishes and enjoy!
