Brazilian Coconut Chicken Curry Recipe
You will need...
Ingredients
2 tablespoons of Great Northern Spice Brazilian Curry Blend
4 large boneless and skinless chicken thighs, diced
2 tablespoons rapeseed oil (or olive oil)
2 large garlic clove, finely grated (or) 2 teaspoon garlic paste
1 tablespoon of chopped ginger, or ginger puree
1 medium brown onion, finely diced
400g tin of coconut milk
100g tin of chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 green Birdseye chilli (optional)
Rice to serve
For the vegetarian option...
Replace the chicken with chickpeas and small chunks of butternut squash
Add a handful of fresh spinach leaves, stalks removed
How to cook
In a bowl, add the chicken and 2 tablespoons of our Brazilian Curry Blend then mix until fully coated.
In a large frying pan on a medium heat, add a tablespoon of oil. Add the chicken and cook on both sides, stirring occasionally until browned and cooked through - approx 15 minutes. Then, transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
In the pan, add the onion, jalapeno pepper, ginger, garlic and cook until the onion has softened - about 4 minutes. Stir occasionally so it doesn't burn.
Add the tomatoes and lemon juice then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes until the tomatoes soften.
Pour in the coconut milk and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add the chicken back to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Reduce heat to low and cook for another 5 minutes.
Garnish with parsley, serve with rice and enjoy!
