Peel the onion and cut it into small dice. Set it aside in a bowl.
Peel the carrot and cut it into small cubes, the same size as the diced onion. Set them aside next to the onion.
Cut the chicken into pieces of about 2 cm. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In the hot skillet with a drizzle of oil, cook the diced onion and carrot over medium heat for 5 min, until tender. Add half the curry powder and mix well.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and brown them for 5 min over medium-high heat, stirring often. Season again with salt and pepper if needed.
Add the coconut milk to the skillet and mix well. Simmer over low heat for 10 min, until the sauce thickens slightly.
While the chicken simmers, bring 300 ml of water to a boil in the saucepan. Add the rice, salt lightly, and cook over low heat for 35 min without stirring. Drain if needed.
Divide the rice among the plates and spoon the chicken and vegetable sauce over it. Sprinkle with the rest of the curry if you like it spicier.
