Ingredients
- 1 lb / 500 g boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 2 x 14 oz (2 x 400 g) canned tomatoes, preferably finely chopped (Mutti brand recommended)
- one red onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp mild curry powder
- 0,5 tsp hot paprika powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 medium-sized carrots, grated using a grater with large holes
- 400 ml (14 oz) tin full-fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into medium-sized cubes – bite-sized pieces. Peel and grate the carrots using a coarse grater. Chop the onion into small pieces, and grate the garlic cloves on a grater or finely chop them. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, and when it’s hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan. Season the meat with pepper and salt, and mix well.
- Fry the chicken for about 4 minutes until it’s browned but not completely cooked through. Then add the chopped onion and grated garlic to the pan, mix with the meat, and sauté everything for about two minutes. If necessary, add more oil. Next, add the curry seasoning, mix the seasoning with the remaining ingredients to coat them, and sauté everything for another half a minute
- Then add coconut milk to the pan (remember to mix the coconut milk well, for example, with a spoon, as it tends to separate) and canned tomatoes. Also, add the grated carrots, pepper, salt, and hot paprika powder. I added half a teaspoon of hot paprika powder, but if you want the dish to be spicier, you can add more of this spice. Mix everything well.
- From the moment the sauce boils, reduce the heat and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally. Finally, it’s a good idea to add finely chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve with your favorite rice. I recommend Basmati rice. Enjoy!
