Today’s Unique Creation: Spicy Mango Basil Chicken Curry

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share with you a brand new recipe that combines the sweetness of mango with the freshness of basil and a kick of spice in a delicious chicken curry. This dish is perfect for those looking to try something different and add a burst of flavor to their meal.

Ingredients:

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • large skillet

For this recipe, you will need:
– 500g chicken breast, diced
– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced
– 1 red bell pepper, sliced
– 1 onion, chopped
– 3 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1-inch piece of ginger, grated
– 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
– 2 tbsp red curry paste
– Handful of fresh basil leaves
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 tbsp olive oil

Preparation:

Start by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger and sauté until fragrant.

Next, add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Once the chicken is cooked through, stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute to release the flavors.

Add the diced mangoes, sliced red bell pepper, and coconut milk to the skillet. Mix everything together and bring to a simmer.

Let the curry simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the mangoes are soft and the flavors have melded together.

Finally, add the fresh basil leaves to the curry and give it a good stir. Remove from heat and let the curry rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serve the spicy mango basil chicken curry hot over a bed of steamed rice or with a side of warm naan bread.

Serving:

This Spicy Mango Basil Chicken Curry weighs approximately 1500g after cooking. It serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 375g. Each serving is estimated to contain around 450 calories.

Cook’s Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try squeezing some fresh lime juice over the curry just before serving. It adds a hint of acidity that complements the sweetness of the mango perfectly.

I hope you enjoy this unique and flavorful dish as much as I do! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different ingredients to make it your own. Happy cooking!
