Add water, the rest of the coconut milk, the chicken pieces and let simmer, uncovered for 15 minutes. Then add the potatoes and brown sugar. Cover and simmer for an additional 45 minutes to one hour.
- In the meantime, cook your favorite white rice.
- Serve the chicken curry in a bowl on top of white rice. Garnish with red pepper strips and fresh basil leaves or fresh coriander. Enjoy!
