Chicken Saml Cambodian Chicken Curry


From cooking light....this is one of the most popular dishes in cambodia. It's a soupy curry that's more aromatic and less spicy than curries found in other parts of southeast asia. It uses a substantial amount of fresh ginger and lemongrass for flavor and fragrance. Serve over rice to soak up the sauce.
