Coconut Curry Chicken With White Rice by touchmeder: 7:06pm On Jun 02, 2015 |
A while back in the food section, someone made a comment about folks eating only white rice and tomato stew. The person wrote ''can't you try something else?'' I was challenged so I decided to try something new last weekend. In times past I've tried Indian stuff (chicken tikka masala with rice or nan bread) and it tasted great. I've tried rice with Chinese sauce and even Thai sauce so I'm open to new tastes. Then I just buy the meal and pop it in the microwave but I don’t have that luxury anymore. Anyway I saw this great recipe on this fabulous lady's blog: http://chichiscuisine..de/2014/10/coconut-curry.html I tried it and boy was it good - finger licking bloody good. So if you're anything like me and you'd like to break from the norm once in a while, give it a try. Leave stew alone and try something new! ![]() |

Ingredients • 1/2 kilo of Chicken (I nor see chicken bre.ast. I got normal chicken with bones and just cut in to smaller pieces) ₦500 • Onion ₦20 • Groundnut oil (about 3 table spoons or less if you hate oil) • Spring onions ₦50 • Curry powder (about a teaspoon) • Thyme ₦10 • Garlic (as you like. I used about 3 cloves. Don’t worry your breath will be fine cos you're frying it) • Seasoning and salt (knorr and royco) • Powdered garlic and ginger (I love spices. You don’t need to if you don’t want especially if you're using the raw garlic) • Bell pepper ₦50 • Small green pepper (like the type used for fried rice. I used about 3 or 4) ₦50 • A tablespoon and half of tomato paste • Coconut milk ₦300 or 400 (I used half of the can 200ml) |

Cut your chicken into little chunks and set aside. Cut your onion, spring onions, green pepper, garlic, bell pepper.

Put small groundnut/vegetable oil in a pot or frying pan and allow to heat up. Add in onion, spring onion, ginger and fry for some seconds. Save your peppers and a little spring onion - you will add them later. Add the raw chicken and allow to fry with the onion and garlic. (No need to boil the chicken first. It's going to be tough and tasteless at the end of the day) |

Add the seasoning, salt, curry, thyme, powdered garlic and ginger then stir so it is well incorporated. At this point I added small water (because my chicken had bones) and allowed it cook for 2 minutes. I don’t want no blood in my meat - thank you. Now I add the coconut milk and tomato paste. I allow it simmer a bit for another 3 minutes or so.

Finally in the last minute of cooking, I add the bell pepper, small green pepper, remaining onion and spring onions. Taste and voila it's ready.

Yummy, I used to check out chichi's blog before I stopped. In the bid to enable me eat rice, I have tried different sauces and stews; Traditional fish/chicken/goatmeat stew (though I now sprinkle scentleaf in mine) Geisha stew Vegetable with fish and fresh tomato sauce Chicken afritada Cabbage and minced meat stew Ofada stew One sauce where you use irish potatoes and flour I had this curry chicken sauce recipe but hadn't tried it, will try your version. |

I tried making this and........wow!! the result was fantastic. soooooooo tasty. I will definately be making it again. by the way, I sort of modified it. I actually used whole chicken so I cooked the chicken first. cooked it until it was very tender and there was just very little stock left in it. also, I added mixed veggies. by the way, I made the coconut milk myself so I had plenty of it left which I stored away in the refrigerator. the real trick is in knowing how to balance your spices in the broth. very delicious. 1 Like |

symbianDON: Bless you brother, you hit the nail on the head. This week, I prepared it again for my kid sister but I preferred the first one I made ![]() Why you may ask? Like you rightly noted the trick is in the balance of spices/ingridents. I used a little too much tomato puree and less coconut milk (my remaining one from last time) so it lacked the earlier zing for me. My sister loved it though; she was none the wiser. ![]() As for modification, it is allowed oh. No hard and fast rule. Well done everyone. |
