COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY



Coconut Chicken Curry image

After experimenting, this is my adaptation of coconut chicken curry. Others ended up either too tangy, too tomato-like, or too lemony. This is what I feel better represents the sweet and savory flavor you get in a restaurant. I use generous amounts of sugar, cinnamon, and some butter, so if you plan on making this often you might want to try some of the others since mine is packed with the best stuff on earth that is worst for you! But it tastes so good!

PRESSURE COOKER COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN



Pressure Cooker Coconut Curry Chicken image

The highly spiced coconut sauce here is so good, you'll want to slather it on anything! And it's a great and adaptable medium for cooking other proteins - not just chicken. Try cubes of lamb, fish fillets, or chunks of pork. Or, if you prefer boneless chicken breasts to thighs, use them here, pressure-cooking them for 2 minutes instead of 4. When serving, tell your guests to be aware of the cardamom pods so they don't accidentally bite into one-or use the ground cardamom instead. And note that brands of garam masala vary in terms of their chile content, so some are hotter than others. If you're unsure how hot your mix is, add it gradually to the pot, tasting as you go. This is one of ten recipes from Melissa Clark's 'Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot' (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 to 4 ripe tomatoes, halved through their equators
3 tablespoons ghee, unsalted butter or safflower oil
3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
6 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane or minced
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 3-inch cinnamon stick or 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 cardamom pods, lightly crushed with the flat side of a knife, or 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 to 2 teaspoons garam masala, to taste
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk
Cooked basmati rice, for serving (optional)
Plain yogurt, for serving (optional)
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a box grater over a bowl. Starting with their cut sides, grate the tomatoes through the large holes of the box grater so the tomato pulp falls into the bowl. Discard the skins. Measure out 2 cups of tomato purée.
  • Using the sauté function, heat the ghee and the coconut oil in the pressure cooker. Stir in the onions and cook, stirring often to encourage even browning, until they are caramelized, 12 to 18 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger and cumin seeds; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon and cardamom and cook for another minute. Then stir in the coriander, salt, turmeric, red pepper flakes, black pepper and finally the tomato purée.
  • Add the chicken to the sauce, cover and cook on low pressure for 4 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally. If the sauce seems too thin, use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a bowl and then simmer the sauce on the sauté setting until it has thickened to taste. (Note that the coconut milk will thin the sauce down further.) Stir in the garam masala and the coconut milk, and let the curry sit for 20 minutes for the flavors to meld. Serve with the rice and yogurt, if desired. Garnish with cilantro.

COCONUT CURRY CHILI



Coconut Curry Chili image

The coconut, curry, and mango chutney really put the flavor in this one. I put this together one night with what I had, and loved the results. It tastes better the next day, just like most chili. This freezes well. Seriously, you have to try it. Serve by itself, with rice, and/or with naan bread.

### Tips
  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your curry will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your taste: If you like your curry spicier, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder curry, use fewer peppers or omit them altogether. You can also adjust the amount of coconut milk or yogurt to make the curry richer or thinner.
  • Be patient: Curries take time to develop their flavor. Don't rush the process. Let the curry simmer for at least 30 minutes, or even longer if you have time.
  • Serve with traditional accompaniments: Curries are often served with rice, naan bread, or roti. You can also offer a variety of chutneys and pickles to complement the curry.
