Today’s Recipe: Creamy Coconut Masala Chicken

Today’s recipe was inspired by a cool autumn evening, where the warm spices of masala and the comforting creaminess of coconut come together in a deliciously unique way. This dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a casual dinner party with friends.

Ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (about 400g)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric
• 1 tablespoon of garam masala
• 1 large tomato, diced
• 400ml of coconut milk
• Fresh coriander, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Sauté the onions until soft, then add the garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant. Next, add the turmeric and garam masala, toasting the spices for a minute to release their flavors.

Add the diced tomato to the skillet, cooking until it breaks down and becomes a chunky sauce. Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine everything into a rich, creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet, letting them simmer in the sauce until cooked through. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.

This Creamy Coconut Masala Chicken is a delightful combination of warm spices and creamy coconut milk, perfect for spooning over a bed of fluffy rice or scooping up with some naan bread. The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings total. Each serving weighs around 200g, with an estimated calorie count of 350 per serving.

One clever tip for this recipe is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and spices for extra flavor and tenderness. This will elevate the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness!
