COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE
 Ingredients of this recipe:
1/4 cup whole unsalted cashews
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt To Taste
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 tsp black mustard seeds
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1 tbsp curry powder
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup frozen peas
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Method to make this recipe : chicken with coconut milk:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the cashews in a pie plate and bake for 5 minutes, or until fragrant
and lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Lightly season the chicken with salt. In a large, deep skillet, heat 3 tablespoons
of the oil until smoking.
- Add the chicken and cook over moderately high heat until golden brown, about
1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and reduce the heat
to moderate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat until smoking.
Add the mustard seeds and cook for about 1 minute, or until they stop popping.
Add the cumin seeds, coriander and curry powder, and cook, stirring occasionally,
until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the onion, ginger and garlic, and cook until the onion softens, about
10 minutes; if the mixture seems dry, add up to 1/4 cup of water to prevent
sticking.
- Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Return
the chicken to the skillet and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the peas and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the coconut chicken curry to
a bowl, sprinkle with the cilantro and cashews and serve.
Makes 4 servings.
