Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry
INGREDIENTS
1 Onion (or Shallots)
1 Bell Pepper
Chicken (or Shrimp / Tofu)
2 Medium Potatoes
1 Canned Tomatoes
1 Canned Coconut Milk
Chives
Garlic
Olive Oil
1 Lime (to taste)
Spices
Salt
Black Pepper
Curry Powder
Cumin
Garam Masala
Umami Seasoning
Cayenne Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Dice onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Heat up a pan on medium heat. We used a 12” stainless steel skillet.
Add olive oil to the pan and drop in the onions, garlic, and bell pepper. Gently salt the onions and reduce heat to medium-low. Allow the onions to cook until caramelized. Use a spatula to stir as needed.
Peel and cut two medium potatoes. Add to pan and cover with a lid for a few minutes. Optional: soak the potatoes for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking to soften faster.
Remove lid and add cubed chicken once potatoes are soft. For a different taste, substitute with peeled shrimp or tofu. Season with cayenne pepper, umami seasoning, black pepper, and more salt. Mix and cover again for a few minutes.
Remove lid. Add tomatoes and chives. Season with curry powder, more cayenne pepper, and a gentle touch of garam masala and cumin. Mix well and cook for a few minutes.
Add coconut milk. For spicy lovers, add red pepper flakes as desired. By now, the curry should look absolutely delicious. Thicken the curry with 1-2 tablespoons of corn starch or flour, if needed.
Mix well, cover with lid, and let simmer for 10-12 minutes. Serve with rice + quinoa. Squeeze some lime to top off. Enjoy!
