Method
Rinse the rice, then cook in a rice cooker or saucepan according to the packet instructions and keep warm.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the sliced onion for 6 minutes until softened and golden.
Add the chicken and fry for 5 minutes until browned on all sides.
Add the carrot and potato and fry for 2 minutes.
Pour in the water, bring to the boil, skim off any scum, then simmer for 20 minutes, checking the chicken reaches 74°C with a meat thermometer, until the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the heat, break the curry roux into pieces and stir in until fully dissolved, then simmer for 8 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
Divide the rice between plates and ladle over the curry.
