MANGO AND CORIANDER (CILANTRO) SAUCE -FOR FISH OR CHICKEN
A fantastic and simple sauce to use over fish or chicken. Good with chicken nuggets too. I usually buy mangoes when they are cheap and freeze them to use later. If you like your sauce a little zingier-add some sweet chilli sauce or some tabasco sauce. Use a gluten-free chicken stock powder to make this sauce gluten-free (I use Massel brand.) This sauce can br prepared a day ahead- but only add the chopped coriander before serving (when reheating). Shown in one of my photos served over recipe#278965 using a basa fillet

- Add the mango pulp, the balsamic vinegar, pepper. Continue to stir over medium heat for a couple of minutes.

CILANTRO AND CORIANDER CHICKEN
Steps:
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil. When it is hot, add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the coriander, garam masala and salt and pepper, and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato paste, and then add the chicken legs. Sprinkle with salt and let them cook for 5 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cilantro and crushed tomatoes, and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, about 30 minutes. Serve with plenty of sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts work best for this recipe, as they will stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
- Make sure the cilantro and coriander are fresh. Fresh herbs will give the dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Baste the chicken frequently. Basting the chicken will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the chicken rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Cilantro and coriander chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of cilantro, coriander, and other spices gives the chicken a unique and delicious flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with rice, vegetables, or your favorite side dish.
