Chicken Curry in Coconut Milk
Ingredients
2 cups | cubed cooked chicken (~2 large breasts) |
1 cup | chopped onion |
4 tbsp | vegetable oil |
2 tsp | curry powder |
1/2 tsp | garlic powder |
1 tsp | ground ginger |
2 tsp | garam masala |
1/2 cup | water |
14 oz can | coconut milk |
2 tsp | sugar |
1/4 tsp | salt |
6 tbsp | tomato paste |
Accompaniment
4 | small servings of rice |
naan or other bread |
Directions
- Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok. Add onion, and simmer until translucent.
- Add curry powder, garam masala, ginger, garlic powder, and stir for one minute.
- Add chicken and water, stirring and scraping until meat is heated and spices mixed.
- Shake coconut milk can, open and add to pan, mix well (canned coconut milk separates).
- Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes, thickening with additional tomato paste and adding additional spices if desired.
- Serve over rice.
Notes
- Unless you use exceedingly spicy curry powder or garam masala, this curry is very mild as it’s written. If more heat is desired, add in some chili powder or a nice hot sauce; you may also want to bring up the amount of garam masala and curry powder.
