with easily adaptable spice levels,
this curry has become a favourite of ours
​and a regular in meal rotations!

ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • olive oil
  • 1/2 cup/1 small chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 Tbsp coriander
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • diced potatoes as desired (we used 1-2 cups cubed small potatoes: red, purple and white)
  • 2 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • cashews as desired*
  • chopped veggies as desired (we used 1 1/2 cups veggies: rainbow peppers and green onions)
  • 2 cups uncooked rice of preferred type (we used jasmine rice)

*possible additions: 
  • ginger
  • cilantro, currants, cashews, sliced almonds, or other nuts as garnish
  • chickpeas (either additional or as vegetarian substitution)​

*we were previously using soy milk in this recipe until a friend suggested coconut milk; we found coconut milk works much better!

process:

  • cook rice in rice cooker or on stovetop
  • pan fry chicken in olive oil
  • when chicken is cooked, add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent 
  • add garam masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, potatoes and coconut milk. mix well and simmer for 5 minutes
  • crumble cashews over mixture and add veggies
  • cover & simmer for 7 minutes (10 minutes if you have included potatoes) 
  • mixture should become creamy as it simmers
  • serve over rice with additions as desired

Looks yummy, Chelsea - thanks! Have you tried it with coconut milk instead? I think that would be good! :-)

We recently made it with coconut milk and found we liked it much better than the soy milk.
