oh dear :(
Burmese curry does vary from region to region and cook to cook. This may well be a curry but definitely not an authentic Burmese curry! All being said and done, it is very kind of you to take the time to post this recipe. Thank you

Burmese Chicken
Burmese chicken curry appears to vary depending on where one looks for advice. The predominant taste ingredient IS tumeric a fair bit. And ALWAYS add Three Crabs brand fish sauce and fresh lime AFTER your food arrives in your bowl. Garlic,ginger,spring onion,corriander,sweet paprika,black cardamon,salt n pepper,ghee or peanut oil, fresh peas n 'dirty' potatoes peeled r used in between.U dont need 2 add any liquid if u cook it on 3-4 electric top as meat n veg hav liquid tastes btr like that !

Does Burmese chicken curry contain star anise and coconut milk?
I thought we differentiated our curries from our neighbours India, Thailand and Malaysia with simpler curries that aren't creamy. Perhaps my family is an exception, but the main spices are simply turmeric, paprika, garlic, shallot, and ginger!
