Indian Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk
Report
Indian Chicken Curry with Coconut Milk, a quick and easy recipe that is ready in about 30 minutes. Boneless chicken breast simmered in a rich and flavourful tomato and coconut sauce, with mild spices that give it an earthy touch, this chicken curry is a perfect midweek dinner recipe for the whole family. Nothing beats a homemade curry, and my recipe is simple and failproof, that anyone can cook it to perfection. Use full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy sauce.

Instructions
- Cup the chicken breasts into pieces, add a teaspoon of oil to a pan, and fry the chicken for about 5 minutes or until lightly brown.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Peel and chop the onion, add the remaining oil to the same pan, and gently fry the onion until soft.
- Add the chopped garlic, spices, and cook for a further 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken back to the pan together with the coconut milk and chopped tomatoes, and leave to cook for about 15-20 minutes until the sauce is reduced and it coats the chicken well.
- Season with salt to taste, and garnish with fresh coriander.
Notes
- Make sure you keep an eye on the curry, although it doesn't need stirring a lot, when the sauce is reduced, it tends to stick to the pan.
- It is best to cook the curry on a medium heat, a high heat will reduce the sauce too quickly, and the chicken won't have time to cook through.
- You can play with the amount of spiciness you want for the sauce, I prefer it mild, but by all means, this dish can take a lot more heat.
