1 1/2 T veg oil
1 med onion, diced
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp curry powder
1 (12-14 oz can) coconut milk
1 c canned diced tomatoes (I always just use a whole can)
2 T Tomato paste (I often skip this if I don't have any)
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch cubes (or you can use a can of chicken)
3 packed cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 or 2 cans garbanzo beans
1/2 c. toasted coconut
Heat oil over med heat. Add onion and 1/2 tsp salt. Cook until soft, about 7 min. Add curry and stir one more minute
Stir in cocnut milk, tomatoes and paste and cook another 5 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
Add chicken and cook 5-6 minutes until meat is cooked (sometimes I cook the meat beforehand- that's okay too). Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add salt to taste. Serve with rice.
To toast coconut, place on a cookie sheet in 300 oven and watch closely. Cook until golden, just a few minutes. This adds so much flavor to the dish and is my favorite part. Serve curry over rice- we love basmati!

This is a new family favorite! Every single one of us loved it, and it's never a recipe I would have tried out on my own. I was a little unsure of mixing coconut with meat - but it was delicious! I plan on making a triple batch of it for dinner oen night soon, so I can stock several in the freezer. I think it's a great dish to make when cooking for friends too!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVED this!!! I will definitely make it for myself again!
