Coconut Hen Curry! – Jane’s Patisserie

A deliciously simple and easy weeknight dinner concept that I maintain making time and again – this coconut rooster curry is SO GOOD!

I posted this recipe onto my instagram web page a couple of weeks in the past and the quantity of requests I had for this recipe was insane. I knew it was scrumptious, and also you guys maintain asking for an increasing number of savoury recipes, however this far surpassed what I assumed would occur.

This recipe is an easy, throw collectively type of meal that I can not cease making over and over. It seems to be prefer it has a protracted record of elements, however the methodology is much simpler than you suppose and it’s a prepare dinner it in a single pan and also you’re off – no lengthy marinating course of or prolonged time of cooking.

Curry filling

The bottom of this curry is sort of versatile, and you’ll swap issues up when you want. I went for a base of utilizing coconut oil (to stay to the coconut curry theme) and since I really like cooking with it. You may swap to different oils if you need nonetheless, that is simply to assist prepare dinner the elements actually.

I used rooster breast that I had reduce into cubes – you should utilize rooster thighs reduce up in the identical manner, or you should utilize one thing else – you may even use a meat substitute when you wished the curry to be vegetarian as an alternative.

An onion (pink or brown works), and two peppers sliced up grow to be the greens within the curry. It doesn’t sound like so much, however I do serve the curry with broccoli normally as a result of I really like tenderstem broccoli. You may add extra greens when you favor – simply fry them on the identical time to allow them to begin to soften

Spices and flavours

I went for fairly a mixture of spices ultimately as I’ve advanced this type of recipe over time I’ve been making it, and I’ve lastly discovered my private candy spot for the flavour profile. I’ll all the time say with one thing such because the spices, particularly in a savoury dish, it’s all about private desire. So, if you prefer it actually sturdy – add extra. And the identical goes the opposite manner, if you need a refined flavour, add half.

Ginger – you should utilize recent ginger, and grate it all the way down to a tremendous paste (about 1-2inch measurement piece), or you should utilize ginger puree that is available in a tube – each work effectively.

Crimson curry paste – I take advantage of the sturdy pink Thai curry pastes that usually are available little pots. Any model works as individuals have their private favourites – however I really like a robust and barely spice one

Medium curry powder – this may be swapped for an everyday curry powder, or a sizzling curry powder, that is as much as you. Medium curry powder normally has a pleasant flavour that fits most style buds

Turmeric – this helps carry the great color to the curry in addition to a beautiful flavour profile

Coriander – I take advantage of floor coriander within the curry and it actually does assist. I do know so many individuals hate coriander, however floor coriander is totally different and as soon as cooked in it’s value utilizing even when you hate recent coriander.

I feel it’s a criminal offense when you don’t use salt and pepper in your life – it helps with the flavour SO MUCH and it’s a beautiful factor. It helps carry the meals you might be cooking to life and is a staple in each meal of mine. Additionally, garlic – garlic is simply the most effective factor on the planet.

Curry base

You might be able to inform by now that I really like a coconut base to issues. I haven’t posted many savoury recipes, however by the best way I discuss on social media and my lentil chickpea curry, you may see the indicators.

Don’t fear, I’ll add different recipes that don’t use coconut milk in some unspecified time in the future, however this coconut rooster curry was an absolute should. I take advantage of the tinned coconut milk that’s partly strong and water when it comes out – I have a tendency to make use of the full-fat one, however the low fats one can work (It would simply be thinner)

Hen inventory, slightly brown sugar and lime juice together with the coconut milk and spices and flavours talked about above make the BEST base sauce for this curry ever. It’s a warming, cosy, but additionally nonetheless gentle curry that I simply can’t get sufficient of.

Making the curry

I begin by melting and heating the coconut oil into a big pan. I then add the sliced onion and begin to soften this, after which add the sliced peppers and do the identical. As soon as these have began to prepare dinner down, you may add the rooster and begin to prepare dinner this as effectively. I normally use fairly a excessive warmth so the veg and rooster get a little bit of a color within the course of.

Add the moist spices/flavours of the garlic, ginger and curry paste, and stir in. Add the dry spices of the curry powder, turmeric, coriander, salt and pepper and stir via effectively permitting them to prepare dinner barely to carry out the flavours once more.

Add the rooster inventory and coconut milk and convey the combination to a simmer. This permits the entire flavours to mix, and lets the rooster end cooking. I then add within the brown sugar and the lime juice – for flavour and thickening, and let all of it simmer till thickened and the rooster is cooked via.

If you would like it thicker, you may dissolve one tablespoon of cornflour in slightly chilly water and stir this via to thicken the curry, however I personally don’t typically discover it wants it in case you are utilizing the complete fats elements like I do.

Serve & retailer

I normally make this curry after I wish to serve it as a result of it’s too scrumptious to not wish to, however you can also make it forward. This freezes rather well for 3+ months. I let it cool totally, then portion into freezer proof containers after which freeze.

I usually serve the curry with coconut rice (as I’m obsessive about it) after which additionally some veg. Like talked about above, tenderstem broccoli is my favorite, but additionally a sprinkle of some chopped cashews and coriander – however there are not any guidelines on the subject of serving one thing like this – you do you.
