Guyanese Coconut Curry Recipe

This recipe couldn’t be easier! Create your delicious Coconut Curry in just a few simple steps.

SERVES 2 (To make for 4 people use 2 bombs and double the ingredients)

INGREDIENTS:

  • Coconut Curry Bomb
  • 1 can of coconut milk (preferred) or 350ml water for a less coconutty flavour
  • 4-6 chicken thighs (skinless)
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp oil (for browning)

 

  • Vegan option: 1 can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed) or 300g firm tofu (cubed)
  • Other options: 400g prawns, cod fillets, or 300g paneer (cubed)

 

     

    TO MAKE THE CURRY

    1. Add 1 can of coconut milk (or 350ml water) to a pan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

    2. Drop your Coconut Curry Flavour Bomb into the simmering water. Add the diced potatoes at this stage. Stir occasionally, allowing the bomb to dissolve fully.

    3. While the flavour bomb is dissolving, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a separate pan. Brown the chicken thighs for a few minutes, just until golden (do not cook through).

    4. Once the Flavour Bomb has dissolved, add the browned chicken thighs to the pan with the potatoes.

    5. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-low heat (e.g. induction hob no. 4) for 15 minutes.

    6. Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium (e.g. induction hob no. 6). Cook for another 10 minutes, or until the curry reaches a gravy-like consistency. Serve and enjoy!
