Coconut Chicken Curry Recipe
Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 55 min | Serves: 5
+ 1 medium chicken, cut into 8 portions
+ 1 onion, roughly chopped
+ 1/2 tsp fresh ginger root, grated
+ 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
+ 1 tomato, cut in quarters
+ 3 serrano chilies, stems removed and de-seeded
+ 2 tsp ground cumin
+ 1 tsp ground coriander
+ 1 tsp ground turmeric
+ 2 tbsp coconut oil
+ 1 cup coconut milk
+ juice of 1 lime
+ sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
+ fresh cilantro, to garnish
+ rice, buckwheat wraps or spelt tortillas, to serve
Transfer the onion, ginger, garlic, tomato, chilies, and spices to a food processor, season with sea salt and pepper and process to form a thin paste. Rub the chicken with 1/3 of the chili paste and let marinate in the fridge overnight, or for at least 1 hour.
Pre-heat oven to 400ºF / 200ºC. Roast the chicken for 30 minutes, turn the chicken over and then roast for another 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a large pan, pour in remaining 2/3 of the chili paste and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes to allow all the moisture to evaporate. Add the coconut milk and simmer for another 30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir the cooked chicken into the curry pan, bring to a simmer, and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat, add lime juice and sprinkle fresh cilantro on top. Serve with rice, buckwheat wraps or spelt tortillas and enjoy!
