I cook this recipe every other week and store it in the fridge to acompany with any side dish during the week and get a delicious quick meal any day or night!

I usually cook it in a single big pan to make cleaning after easier but this time I wasnt at my home and had to use two.

Cooking Instructions

1 hr 30 min
  1. 1

    Prepare your ingredients in advance. I like to dice half of the onions, garlic and srhooms and to slice the other half to add different textures to the mix.

  2. 2

    Heat a pan in medium - low heat with the olive oil. Add your onions and garlic. And condiment with salt and pepper to taste*.
    Cook for 25-30 mins removing everynow and then till they are soft and golden.

    *(I add my salt and pepper to taste with every different ingredient I add beacause it helps me control the taste and the salt helps liberate water from all the solid ingredients we will be cooking).

  3. 3

    Add the rest of your veggies and condiment again. Cook until done to taste.

    I like to add in different ocassions seasonal veggies or meat replacers such as eggplant, peas, zucchini, pumpkin, textured soy (previously prepared by letting it soak in warm water 10-20 min), tofu and or seitan.

  4. 4

    Add your spices in this step.
    First add the paprika mix tbsp.
    This time wanted to add an spicy taste to the dish so afterwards added 3 dried cayenna peppers.
    Some nutmeg.
    Curry mix.

    Mix everything together keeping the heat low.

    And finally add your tomato sauce.

  5. 5

    Cook the chicken this moment to a medium high heat till done to taste.

    I like to add the chicken to the same pan in ehich im doing the veggies. But this time I did it in another pan and added it in this step.
    IF YOU ARE USING A SINGLE PAN: add the chicken before the rest of the veggies are done cooking so you dont burn them while cooking the meat.

  6. 6

    Finally in a low fire add the coconut milk and keep cooking till achieving the desired texture and thickness.

    Serve with some basil or parsley and enjoy.

    Its perfect to eat on its own or to acompany with some noodles or rice!!!
