• to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, garlic, and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant. Next, add the diced chicken breast and season with cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili powder, stirring well to coat the chicken in the aromatic spices.

Once the chicken is cooked through, pour in the coconut milk and add saffron threads, gently stirring to combine. Allow the curry to simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

As the curry simmers, the saffron will infuse the dish with its distinctive aroma and golden hue, elevating the flavors to new heights. Serve the saffron-infused coconut curry over steamed rice, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

This saffron-infused coconut curry weighs approximately 1200g once cooked and serves 4-6 people, with each serving weighing around 200g. A single serving of this exotic dish is estimated to contain around 350 calories.

One clever tip to enhance the flavors of this dish is to toast the saffron threads in a dry skillet for a few seconds before adding them to the curry. This will intensify the aroma and bring out the full potential of this luxurious spice.

I encourage you to give this saffron-infused coconut curry a try and let the unique blend of flavors transport you to a culinary paradise. Feel free to experiment with additional spices or vegetables to make this dish your own. Enjoy!
