I really love this simple and classic Asian recipe. The flavors mix so well taking you to exotic places…
I did some interventions to the original recipe so as to add nutrients (such as carrot, a source of fiber and vitamins) but also to turn it into a real healthy meal. But if you want to play a little, you can make it as spicy as you want. I ‘ll show you how. Enjoy!!!
Delicious Chicken Curry with Jasmine Rice and Carrots
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces. Heat some oil in a nonstick pot, then briefly saute the chicken over high heat until it is lightly browned. In the meantime, add also the carrots.
-
Add water so as to cover the chicken. Add curry and the chicken stock (or simply salt) and stir.
-
Allow to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add some extra water if needed.
-
At about 45 minutes (when chicken is almost tender), add the coconut cream and stir with a spoon until it completely dissolves in sauce. Season to taste.
-
Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 10-15 minutes). Remove from heat.
-
In the meantime, prepare the rice according to instructions.
My instructions for basmati or jasmine rice: Heat 2 parts of salted water to boil. Add 1 part rice, stir and let it boil on low heat with the lid closed for about 20 minutes until it absorbs all the water. Allow 5 minutes to rest and serve. -
Serve chicken with rice. To make it spicy, pour over Sambal Oelek.
Start with a very small amount of Sambal Oelek; you can always add more...
Notes
- You can also use any type of vegetable oil i.e. sunflower oil.
- Basmati rice is also delicious.
- Chicken thighs are also super!
- I mostly use M&S Coconut cream.
