Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small leek or green onion(s), chopped 170 grams
  • ½ teaspoon crushed coriander seeds
  • 8 to 10 chicken legs, thoroughly pat-dried About 2 to 2.5 pounds (908 grams to 1.2 kilos)
  • 3 teaspoon salt, or more to taste, divided
  • 4 to 5 large swede/rutabaga, peeled and chopped, cut into cubes 2.65 pounds or 1200 grams
  • 3 to 4 regular carrots (or 2 large ones) peeled, and roughly chopped into same size as rutabaga. 0.69 pounds or 315 grams
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 (320-ounce/907 gram) can of chicken broth or 4 cups homemade
  • 1 cup of water 8 ounces/237 ml
  • 6 tablespoons coconut cream 180 grams

Instructions

  1. Heat olive in a large pot over medium heat. Add leek and coriander. Cook and stir for about 10 seconds
  2. Arrange the chicken legs in the pan, pushing leek between each leg—season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for about 5 minutes on one side until slightly browned, then turn and slightly brown the other side for about 2 to 3 minutes—season that side also with one teaspoon of salt.
  3. Stir in the veggies and add all the rest of the seasoning. Use a wooden spoon to stir well, divide the seasoning, and gently scrape off the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Pour over the broth and water to barely cover the chicken. Change the heat to high, cover the pot, and let it come to a simmer.
  5. Adjust to medium or medium-low heat to keep a steady simmer and cook for 15 minutes, pot half-covered.
  6. Stir in the coconut cream. At this point, season with one more teaspoon of salt or adjust to taste.
  7. Simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the chicken legs are cooked through and tender.
  8. Serve with chopped cilantro (optional), and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage:
  •  
  • Note: Crush them using a mortar and pestle, or place them in a small ziplock bag and crush the seeds with a rolling pin.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
  • For longer storage, transfer to freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to three months. Defrost in the fridge the evening before you plan to eat it.
  • Reheat in a large pan over medium heat, adding a splash of broth if the soup has thickened.
