Vibrant Spicy Mango Coconut Chicken Curry

Today’s Special: Spicy Mango-Coconut Chicken Curry

Hey there, foodies! I’m excited to share this vibrant and flavorful recipe for Spicy Mango-Coconut Chicken Curry. I was inspired to create this dish after reminiscing about a sunny vacation in Thailand, where the combination of sweet mangoes and creamy coconut made my taste buds sing. This curry is the perfect balance of spicy, sweet, and savory, making it a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• boneless chicken thighs (400g)
• ripe mango (1 large)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• red curry paste (2 tbsp)
• fish sauce (1 tbsp)
• brown sugar (1 tbsp)
• lime juice (1 tbsp)
• fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Kitchen Tools:

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

To start, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red curry paste and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Toss in the cubed chicken thighs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Next, pour in the coconut milk, diced mango, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Stir everything together until well combined. Let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the chicken to cook through.

Once the chicken is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the Spicy Mango-Coconut Chicken Curry hot over a bed of steamed jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

This dish weighs approximately 1400 grams in total, serving about 4 hungry diners. Each serving comes in at around 350 grams, with an estimated calorie count of 450 per portion.

One unique tip for this dish is to add a handful of toasted coconut flakes to the curry just before serving. These crispy bits add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor that elevates the dish to a whole new level.

I hope you give this Spicy Mango-Coconut Chicken Curry a try and enjoy the explosion of flavors it brings to your kitchen. Feel free to adjust the spice level or sweetness to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
