Today’s Culinary Adventure: Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken Curry

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a recipe that’s perfect for those craving an exotic, vibrant dish bursting with bold flavors. My Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken Curry is a delightful fusion of sweet mango, creamy coconut, succulent chicken, and a kick of heat that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite.

To create this flavorful masterpiece, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
  • ripe mango (1, diced)
  • coconut milk (400ml)
  • red curry paste (2 tbsp)
  • onion (1, chopped)
  • garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • ginger (1-inch piece, grated)
  • bell pepper (1, sliced)
  • fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • vegetable oil
  • salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Before we dive into the cooking process, let’s make sure we have all our kitchen tools ready:

  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • chopping board
  • sharp knife
  • medium saucepan

Start by heating some vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened. Next, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red curry paste, stirring until fragrant.

Now, add the diced chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Pour in the coconut milk and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to cook through.

Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the sliced bell pepper and diced mango. Let the curry simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the bell pepper is tender-crisp and the mango is heated through.

To serve, sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a pop of freshness and color. This Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken Curry is best enjoyed over steamed rice or with warm naan bread.

This recipe yields approximately 4 servings with each serving weighing around 300 grams. One serving of this delicious curry is estimated to be around 400 calories.

A unique tip for this dish is to add a squeeze of lime juice right before serving to enhance the flavors and bring a citrusy brightness to the curry.

I hope you enjoy embarking on this culinary journey with me and that this Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken Curry brings a taste of the tropics to your table. Feel free to get creative and make this recipe your own by adjusting the spice level or adding your favorite vegetables. Happy cooking!
