This recipe is from my friends, the Patels - they are the real deal. This curry is one to bust out when entertaining - a true winner.
The homemade curry paste is delicious and only takes about 10mins to make.
Serves: 4.
Prep time: 30mins
Cooking time: 35 mins
Ingredients
2 Tbs curry paste*
2 x chicken breasts (organic, free range) sliced into small 2cm pieces
2 Tbs coconut oil
2 onions finely chopped
3 cups chopped organic vegetables (e.g. pumpkin, spinach, mushrooms)
2-3 cups water or chicken stock
1 tomato chopped or 1 x tin tomatos
1 tin coconut milk/cream
3/4 cup coriander chopped
Method:
1. Add coconut oil to pan.
2. Add onions - when browned, add the curry paste, ½ cup freshly chopped coriander, vegetables and chicken. Cook for 5-6 mins, stir often.
3. Add water or chicken stock + more depending on how runny you want the curry.
4. Heat on medium, cook for a ½ hour, adding water as needed.
5. Add freshly chopped tomatoes and coconut milk.
6. Sprinkle freshly chopped coriander on top
*for the curry paste, either make your own as per recipe below or buy premade in a jar. You can double the mix and keep some in the fridge for next time. It seems like a lot of ingredients, but once they're all out of the cupboard, it's super fast to throw them all together.
