Exploring the Unique: Spicy Mango Coconut Curry

Today, I am excited to share with you a recipe that combines the sweetness of mango with the creaminess of coconut, all tied together with a kick of spice. This dish is perfect for those looking to step out of their comfort zone and try something truly unique and exotic.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 400ml coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 300g chicken breast, cut into strips
• 1 bell pepper, sliced
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 stalk of lemongrass, crushed
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• Handful of chopped cilantro

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• knife
• cutting board

To start, heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the red curry paste. Cook for a minute until fragrant, then pour in the coconut milk. Stir well to combine and bring to a simmer.

Add the diced mango, sliced bell pepper, crushed lemongrass, fish sauce, and brown sugar to the saucepan. Let everything simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

While the curry is simmering, heat a separate pan over medium heat and cook the chicken breast strips until they are cooked through.

Once the chicken is ready, add it to the saucepan with the curry and stir to combine. Let everything simmer for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the chicken absorbs all the flavors.

Before serving, sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the curry to add a fresh and herby touch.

This Spicy Mango Coconut Curry is best served hot over steamed rice, allowing the flavors to truly shine through.
