    Ingredients:

    2 teaspoons vegetable oil

    1/4 cup Guelaguetza Mole Coloradito paste

    4 tablespoons red curry paste

    3/4 pound carrots, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds

    1 medium onion, chopped

    1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

    1 pound (about 3) waxy potatoes, like Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

    1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

    1 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk

    Chopped fresh basil and cilantro

    •    Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add Guelaguetza Mole Coloradito paste and curry paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion, carrots and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
    •    Add potatoes, chicken, coconut milk, and 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Divide curry among bowls and top with herbs
