Comforting Coconut Curry Mac and Cheese

Today, I am excited to share with you my latest creation: Comforting Coconut Curry Mac and Cheese. This dish is a perfect blend of rich, creamy cheese sauce with a subtle hint of coconut and a warm kick of curry. It’s the ultimate comfort food with a twist that will delight your taste buds.

Ingredients:

• elbow macaroni (400g)
• coconut milk (200ml)
• cheddar cheese, grated (200g)
• curry powder (2 tbsp)
• butter (50g)
• flour (50g)
• salt (1 tsp)
• pepper (1/2 tsp)

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• whisk
• oven-safe dish

To start, cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for a few minutes to make a roux. Slowly pour in the coconut milk while whisking continuously until smooth.

Next, add the grated cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined. Season with curry powder, salt, and pepper, adjusting to taste. Once the cheese sauce is creamy and smooth, fold in the cooked macaroni until fully coated.

Transfer the mac and cheese mixture into an oven-safe dish. If desired, sprinkle some extra cheese on top for a golden crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Once out of the oven, let the mac and cheese cool slightly before serving. The combination of creamy cheese sauce with the subtle sweetness of coconut and the warm spice of curry will truly comfort your soul.
