GREEN CURRY CHICKEN



Green Curry Chicken image

This came from a can of coconut milk I made no changes. It's quick and easy, we eat it weekly and it is so wonderful. If you like curry you will absolutely love this. If you have never tried curry this is a perfect recipe to put you in the "curry lovers club". Just try it- I promise you won't regret it. ***I did not want to change the original recipe, but wanted to note that I actually use 2-3 tbls. of curry, we like it with a lot of heat. Please....adjust the curry to your personal taste*** Also, I find the Mae Ploy brand that can only be found in an asian market is wonderful every time. I have tried curry bought in the grocery store and it is NEVER very good...the Mae Ploy is always potent and fresh tasting and I keep a big tub in my fridge for months and it stays good.

You can apply this recipe to any type of curry you like. If you like your food really spicy, try adding dried chili flakes or whole fresh chilies. Curry is a simple, hearty dish; get as creative as you want! As always, practice makes perfect.

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 cups (1.4 liters) full-fat coconut milk, with 4 tablespoons of the cream separated out
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
4 to 6 tablespoons (60 to 90 grams) green curry paste
1 (700 grams) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch (2 1/2-centimeter) dice
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup (20 grams) roughly chopped, whole with stems, Thai sweet basil
8 magrut lime leaves, sliced very thin
1 1/2 pounds (700 grams) chicken thighs, patted dry and sliced into bite-size pieces
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon tamarind paste
1 red bell pepper, middle part sliced, top and bottom diced for garnish
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat 4 tablespoons of the thick coconut cream on high for about 1 minute, then add the oil. When the cream starts to sizzle, stir the curry paste into the cream like building a roux. Stir-fry the paste for about 1 minute, until the paste starts to thicken, dry out and become fragrant. If the curry starts to sputter, add a small amount of coconut milk and/or oil to keep the paste moving. Cook the paste until it has the consistency of peanut butter.
  • Stir the sweet potato cubes, onion, basil, half of the lime leaves and remaining coconut milk into the curry paste. Increase the heat to high until you reach a full rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer. Let the curry simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Also check that the curry is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Add the chicken. Let this simmer for 5 to 7 more minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Stir in the fish sauce, sugar and tamarind. Add the bell pepper strips and turn off the heat. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with the Thai basil, remaining lime leaves and diced bell pepper.

1 ½ tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

1 pound Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 large bunch cilantro, stemmed
2 serrano or jalapeño chilies, seeded, stemmed, halved
2 garlic cloves, each cut in half
3/4 teaspoon salt
Chicken Curry
9 large garlic cloves
2 serrano or jalapeño chilies, seeded, stemmed, halved
1 3-inch-long piece fresh ginger, peeled, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 medium onions, finely chopped
5 tablespoons plus 1 cup water
1 4-inch-long cinnamon stick, broken in half
5 whole cardamom pods, cracked
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
3 small bay leaves

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 pound tomatoes, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 3-pound chickens, each cut into 8 pieces, skinned
3 cups white rice, cooked
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For Chutney:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pierce the "eyes" of the coconut with ice pick. Drain off liquid. Bake coconut until shell begins to crack, about 30 minutes. Tap coconut shell all over with hammer to remove shell. (The white meat with its brown skin should fall away from shell; if it doesn't, use paring knife to release meat.) Using paring knife, cut away brown skin, if desired. Rinse coconut. Coarsely chop enough coconut in processor to measure 3/4 cup (reserve remaining coconut for another use.)
  • Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds; stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes (do not burn). Transfer seeds to plate; cool. Finely grind seeds in spice grinder or in mortar with pestle.
  • Core apples; cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Place apples in medium bowl. Add lemon juice and toss to coat. Combine 3/4 cup coconut, cumin, apples and all remaining ingredients in processor. Chop finely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before using.
  • For Curry:
  • With processor running, drop garlic, chilies and ginger down feed tube and process until minced. Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until brown, adding 2 tablespoons water during last minutes of cooking to prevent burning, about 10 minutes. Add chili mixture and 1 tablespoon water; sauté 3 minutes. Add cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and peppercorns; stir 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons water, bay leaves, coriander, cumin, cayenne and turmeric; sauté 1 minute. Add tomatoes and salt; cook until almost all the liquid evaporates, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Add chicken pieces 1 at a time, turning to coat in tomato mixture. Add 1 cup water. Cover; simmer until chicken is cooked through, turning once, about 40 minutes.
  • Spoon rice onto plates. Top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with chutney.

Categories     Chicken     Vegetable     Dinner     Coconut     Curry     Green Bean     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 serves

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons tamarind (not concentrate) from a pliable block
1/2 cup boiling-hot water
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
27 fresh curry leaves*
6 (3-inch-long) dried hot Indian red chiles
6 chicken breast halves with skin and bones (5 lb total)
2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Break up tamarind, then add to boiling-hot water (1/2 cup) in a heatproof bowl and soak 15 minutes. Mash tamarind with a fork until pulp is dissolved, then pour tamarind mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids.
  • Heat a dry 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderately low heat until hot, about 2 minutes, then toast coriander and cumin seeds, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Add 12 curry leaves and toast, stirring constantly, until leaves curl and darken, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 4 chiles and toast, stirring constantly, until a shade darker, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool completely, then finely grind in grinder.
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken in 2 batches, skin sides down first, turning over once, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
  • Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from pot, then cook onions over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until edges are golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low, then add ground-spice mixture, garlic, turmeric, and remaining teaspoon salt and cook, stirring frequently (to prevent scorching), about 3 minutes. Add coconut milk and tamarind liquid and simmer, stirring, until any coconut-milk solids are dissolved, about 1 minute. Add chicken, skin sides up, in 1 layer (chicken will not be completely covered with liquid) and simmer, covered, until chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  • While chicken simmers, cook green beans in an 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.
  • When chicken is done cooking, transfer with tongs to a cutting board, reserving sauce in pot, and halve each chicken breast diagonally through bone. Put chicken in a deep serving dish and keep warm, covered with foil. Add green beans to coconut sauce and simmer until just tender, about 1 minute.
  • While beans simmer, heat remaining tablespoon oil in 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add mustard seeds, then cover skillet and cook until seeds make popping sounds, about 5 seconds. Remove lid, then add remaining 15 curry leaves and 2 chiles and cook, stirring, until leaves crackle and chiles darken slightly, about 5 seconds. Pour hot oil mixture over coconut sauce and beans, then stir to combine. Season with salt, then spoon sauce and beans around chicken. Discard whole chiles if desired.

GREEN CHICKEN CURRY



Green Chicken Curry image

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 small bunches cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped, 1 1/2 cups
1 bunch fresh mint, leaves, coarsely chopped, 1 1/2 cups
1 red onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic
1 1/2-inch piece ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup water, plus 1 1/2 cups
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, about 1 3/4 pounds, halved
1/2 teaspoon malt vinegar
1/4 cup plain whole milk yogurt, whisked until smooth
Cooked basmati rice or warm naan bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Add the cilantro, mint, red onion, garlic, ginger, and salt, and pepper, to taste, to a food processor or blender. Puree on high until smooth. With the processor running, add about 1/4 cup water, and blend until the mixture is the consistency of a thick paste, a.k.a. "masala". Set aside.
  • In a large pot or deep skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until golden brown.
  • Add the spices and cook for 30 seconds. Pour the masala mixture into skillet and cook, stirring often until it deepens in color and aroma. You'll know it's ready when it looks shiny, little droplets of oil will appear on the surface, and the masala will hold together as a cohesive mass.
  • Add the chicken, coating every piece in the masala and stirring often. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, so that the masala really adheres to the chicken. Add about 1 1/2 cups water, just enough to cover the chicken, and the vinegar. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the chicken is tender and sauce has thickened slightly, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the yogurt. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed. Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and serve over rice or with warm naan bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially for the green curry paste. Fresh herbs and spices will give your curry the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level of the curry to your liking. If you want a milder curry, use less green chili peppers. If you want a hotter curry, use more chili peppers or add some cayenne pepper.
  • If you don't have time to make your own green curry paste, you can use a store-bought paste. Just be sure to choose a good quality paste that is made with fresh ingredients.
  • Serve the green chicken curry with rice, noodles, or roti. You can also add a side of vegetables or salad.

Conclusion:

Green chicken curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is a relatively easy dish to make, but it does take some time to prepare. If you are short on time, you can use a store-bought green curry paste. However, if you have the time, making your own green curry paste is definitely worth the effort. The fresh ingredients will give your curry the best flavor.
