Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Coconut Curry

Greetings, fellow foodies! I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful dish that always brings a taste of the tropics to my kitchen. This spicy pineapple coconut curry is a refreshing departure from traditional curry dishes, perfect for adding a touch of sunshine to any meal.

For this vibrant dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • coconut milk
  • red curry paste
  • bell pepper, sliced
  • onion, diced
  • garlic, minced
  • ginger, grated
  • chicken breast, sliced
  • lime juice
  • fresh cilantro, chopped
  • cooked rice

To bring this dish to life, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

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

Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding a splash of oil. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant, then add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned. Stir in the red curry paste and cook for another minute before adding the bell pepper slices.

Next, pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Allow the curry to simmer and thicken for about 10 minutes before adding the pineapple chunks. Let the flavors meld together for a few more minutes before finishing with a squeeze of lime juice.

Serve the spicy pineapple coconut curry over a bed of cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro. The combination of sweet pineapple, creamy coconut milk, and spicy curry creates a harmonious balance of flavors that will delight your taste buds.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200 grams, with 4 servings at 300 grams each. Each serving is approximately 400 calories.

A clever tip for making this dish even more flavorful is to add a splash of fish sauce or soy sauce to the curry for an extra umami kick. Don’t be afraid to adjust the spice level to suit your preferences—make this dish your own!

I hope you enjoy this spicy pineapple coconut curry as much as I do. It’s a fun and unexpected twist on traditional curry that is sure to brighten up any meal. Happy cooking!
