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
- Add 1 can of coconut milk (or 350ml water) to a pan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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).
- Once the Flavour Bomb has dissolved, add the browned chicken thighs to the pan with the potatoes.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-low heat (e.g. induction hob no. 4) for 15 minutes.
- 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!
