Exotic Spicy Pineapple Curry

Today’s Dish: Spicy Pineapple Curry

Hey there, foodie friends! Today, I’m excited to share with you my latest culinary creation: Spicy Pineapple Curry. This dish was inspired by my recent trip to Thailand, where I fell in love with the vibrant flavors of Thai cuisine. I wanted to recreate those bold and exotic flavors in my own kitchen, and I think I’ve found the perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory in this dish.

Ingredients:

• Fresh pineapple, diced (400g)
• Chicken breast, sliced into strips (300g)
• Coconut milk (1 can – 400ml)
• Red curry paste (2 tbsp)
• Fish sauce (2 tbsp)
• Brown sugar (2 tbsp)
• Fresh lime juice (1 lime)
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped (a handful)
• Red chili, thinly sliced (1)

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• grater

To start, heat a splash of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and cook for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the chicken strips and cook until browned on all sides. Pour in the coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Next, add the diced pineapple, fresh basil, and sliced red chili to the pan. Let everything simmer together for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the curry and give it a final stir.

Serve the Spicy Pineapple Curry over steamed jasmine rice and garnish with extra basil leaves and chili slices for an extra kick. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy curry paste, and creamy coconut milk creates a flavor explosion in every bite.

One clever tip for this dish is to garnish each serving with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor. It takes this dish to the next level and adds a lovely crunch to every bite.
