Spicy Mango Coconut Curry Recipe

Today’s Special: Spicy Mango Coconut Curry

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that brings a tropical twist to a classic curry dish. I was inspired by the vibrant colors and flavors of mangoes in season, and I couldn’t resist creating this spicy mango coconut curry. It’s perfect for adding a little heat to your dinner routine, so let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

• 200g mango puree
• 400ml coconut milk
• 500g chicken thighs, diced
• 50g red curry paste
• 2 bell peppers, thinly sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 1 tsp chili flakes
• 1 lime, juiced
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• To taste

Kitchen Tools:

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

Let’s start by heating some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant. Next, stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute to release the flavors.

Add the diced chicken thighs to the skillet and cook until they are browned on all sides. Then, pour in the mango puree and coconut milk, stirring well to combine. Let the curry simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Once the curry has thickened slightly, add the sliced bell peppers and chili flakes for a bit of heat. Let the curry simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the peppers are tender-crisp. Finally, squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt to taste.

To serve, garnish the spicy mango coconut curry with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or naan bread.
