Coconut Chicken Curry

This is comfort food at its best. Creamy and flavourful! Best served with jasmine rice or coconut rice!
The ingredients list may seem long but it only takes minimal efforts to get the finished dish! Step 1 is the marinade, and step 2 involves cooking it all mostly by letting it simmer! You can also do the marinade in advance to save time.
I recommend chicken thighs ( more juicy, absorbs flavours better and will end up more tender than chicken breasts).
Spice level is medium. You can reduce it by omitting the red chilli while cooking. #curry #chickencurry #coconut #coconutcurry

I had a craving for creamy chicken curry.I didn't make this spicy so that my child could eat it too. If you want to spice it up, you can add some red pepper or substitute the turmeric for curry powder. If you don't have chutney, you can use honey or sugar. Recipe by Nico cookpad.japan -
Chicken Curry with Hidden Vegetables Chicken Curry with Hidden Vegetables
I wanted to eat a lot of vegetables! But I wanted to eat a rich, deeply flavored curry like the kind you can get in a restaurant! So this is the curry we continue to make in our house. The generous amount of garlic adds richness and flavor, and the chicken is so tender! I worked on this recipe so that it would be spicy and easy to prepare.The key point is to pre-season the chicken and to simmer it until it's falling-apart tender. The garlic adds richness, and the celery adds a nice fragrance. Even if you don't like vegetables, you may not notice that there are a lot in this curry. This recipe uses regular store-bought curry roux so it's easy! For 5 servings. Recipe by Toiroiro cookpad.japan -

Thai Shrimp Curry with Coconut Milk 🥥 Thai Shrimp Curry with Coconut Milk 🥥
I love cooking ethnic dishes and stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest. It's a Thai dish with shrimp cooked in spiced coconut milk, served with fragrant jasmine rice. Last night, I made this delicacy, and it turned out to be truly delicious. The sweetness of the coconut milk and shrimp with a spicy kick and the "lemony" aftertaste of ginger was enjoyed by everyone. 🥥🍚 Michelle🍁🌻Translated from Cookpad Italy -
Authentic Tandoori Fish Curry Authentic Tandoori Fish Curry
I love an Indian curry with tandoori fish at my favorite Indian restaurant. So I made my own version.In Step 2, the longer the fish is left to marinate, the more flavoursome it will become (1 hour to half a day)I recommend swordfish, tuna and mackerel for tandoori fish! This curry is great with tandoori chicken as well!Adding the spices and coconut milk gives this curry that great authentic taste. Recipe by Karun cookpad.japan -
Easy Coconut, Chicken & Rice Curry Easy Coconut, Chicken & Rice Curry
An easy main meal.I really like the curries with coconut milk, plus this just used regular old yellow curry powder (English curry I believe). I used some left over rice, and it's more wait for it to cook, than real work. Heat level is adjustable to your preference. Plus you can use other proteins like shrimp or tofu if you desire. Just adjust the cooking times for what you use. Just so you know, the pictures, I'm making a half recipe.As I made this, it wasn't really what I would consider spicy. The wife didn't complain, and had 2 helpings, unusual for her. Fo Fa -
Coconut Curry Chicken Satay Coconut Curry Chicken Satay
Satay (or sate) is basically your generally Southeast Asian grilled skewer or kabob, prepared in a variety of ways throughout the region, and often served with a dipping sauce on the side.I pulled my influences from Thai and Vietnamese cuisines to come up with this version which includes a little coconut milk in the marinade, which can either help chicken breast meat retain moisture or soften the slightly stronger and gamier flavor of dark meat, depending on which you use.Now, you will not hear me talking about the upsides of chicken breast meat too often, but one upside of using breast meat in this application is that it cooks very quickly, and when you have lots of skewers to cook for a crowd, it speeds up the cooking time by about a third.This recipe serves 8 to 10 as appetizers (about 30 skewers) and is easily halved. x -

Curry Soup Curry Soup
I created this healthy dish without using ready-made curry roux.Add your choice of chicken, meat and veggies! If you coat the chicken and vegetables in curry powder before sautéing, it will make the soup more aromatic.The trick is to sauté the ketchup well in Step 2, and mix the spices well, as if creating a paste. For 4 servings. Recipe by seoulei cookpad.japan -

Chicken Curry Stew Instant Pot IP Chicken Curry Stew Instant Pot IP
I am using chicken gizzards, but regular chicken can be used instead. This is not a proper curry (vindaloo in this case), but more a stew. Easy to make using curry paste. It was a little spicy as made (again using vindaloo which is spicy). This could be scaled up easily, and even other types of curry paste could be used. I'm still getting used to the instant pot, and made this as I would in a stove top pressure cooker, so I used too much liquid for the Instant Pot. I adjusted the recipe to account for that, however the pictures show the extra liquid, so take that into consideration. Fo Fa
