Introducing: Spicy Pineapple Coconut Curry

After a long day at work, I often find myself craving a dish that not only warms me up but also transports me to a tropical paradise. Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Spicy Pineapple Coconut Curry, a unique and exotic dish that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of pineapple with the creamy richness of coconut milk, all spiced up with a kick of heat. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or for entertaining guests with something unexpected and delicious.

Ingredients:

  • 400g cubed chicken breast
  • 250g diced pineapple
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 50g red curry paste
  • 30ml fish sauce
  • 20g brown sugar
  • a handful of chopped cilantro
  • 15ml lime juice
  • for serving

Kitchen Tools:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the red curry paste, cooking it for a minute until fragrant. Next, add the cubed chicken breast and cook until browned on all sides. Toss in the diced pineapple and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly caramelized.

Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar, stirring to combine all the flavors. Let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the chicken to cook through and the sauce to thicken slightly. Just before serving, add a squeeze of lime juice for a burst of freshness.

Serve the Spicy Pineapple Coconut Curry over cooked rice, garnished with chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. The creamy coconut milk pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the pineapple and the kick of heat from the red curry paste. Each bite is a burst of tropical paradise in your mouth.

Tips:

For an extra depth of flavor, try toasting the red curry paste in the skillet before adding the chicken. This will bring out the aromatics and intensify the spicy notes in the dish.

This recipe serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 300g. One serving of this Spicy Pineapple Coconut Curry is around 400 calories, making it a satisfying and flavorful meal choice.

I hope you give this Spicy Pineapple Coconut Curry a try and enjoy its unique blend of flavors. Feel free to customize it with your favorite protein or veggies to make it your own. Happy cooking!
