Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons mild curry powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
¾ pound Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 large carrot, sliced diagonally 1/4 inch thick
4 cups large cauliflower florets
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup coconut milk
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
½ cup frozen peas
Salt to taste
Cooked basmati rice
1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce

Steps:

  • Melt coconut oil in a heavy 4-quart pot over medium heat. Saute onion until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add curry powder, pepper flakes, broth, soy sauce, maple syrup, and tomato paste and stir.
  • Add potatoes and carrot, cover pot, and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat to a simmer and leave lid ajar. Cook just until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Add cauliflower, chickpeas, coconut milk, and cilantro. Stir gently to incorporate. Return to simmer with lid ajar and simmer just until cauliflower is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Fold in peas and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat and season with salt, if needed. Serve with steamed basmati rice and, for those who'd like more heat, sriracha sauce. Garnish with cilantro.

CREAMY CHICKEN (OR PRAWN) CURRY



Creamy Chicken (Or Prawn) Curry image

This is based on an Australian Weight Watchers recipe. It's very healthy and low fat but tastes like it isn't! I often double the sauce and use it to cook up a 500g bag of defrosted frozen prawn meat. I also change up the veggies ... use whatever you have on hand. I like to throw in a handful of baby spinach right at the end. I have often thought it might be nice with a small tin of pineapple and a tsp of coconut extract ... let me know if you try this!

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

300 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or 300 g prawns, peeled and tails removed
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons mild curry powder (such as Keen's, see note below)
1 small onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
1/2 red capsicum, chopped (AKA red bell pepper)
150 ml evaporated low-fat milk
2 teaspoons chicken stock powder
2 teaspoons cornflour (AKA cornstarch)
1/3 cup water

Steps:

  • Cook chicken in a hot pan coated with cooking spray till brown and tender. (If using prawns, you can stirfry them at this point till they turn pink, or you can wait till the end and just cook them in the sauce for a few minutes.) Remove from the pan and keep warm.
  • Saute the garlic, curry powder, carrots, onion and capsicum for 4 - 5 minutes.
  • Combine cornflour and water in a small bowl.
  • Turn the heat way down low and stir in the milk, stock and cornflour/water mixture. Stir until sauce thickens. Return chicken to the pan and coat with the curry sauce.
  • Serve over rice.
  • NOTE: After a review stating this was "bland" I realised that Keen's Curry Powder (available in Australia) may be quite different from brands available overseas. Keen's brand curry powder has a fairly high salt content. You may need to add salt to this recipe if your curry powder is low in salt.

Tips:

  • Fresh is Best: For the best flavor, use fresh chicken or prawns. If using frozen, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Marinate Your Meat: Marinate your chicken or prawns in a mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the curry from burning.
  • Don't Overcook the Meat: Chicken and prawns cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become tough and chewy.
  • Adjust the Spice Level: This recipe is mild, but you can adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve with Rice or Naan: Curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with roti, paratha, or other flatbreads.

Conclusion:
