Chicken In Coconut Milk Curry
- 1/3 to 1/2 c. corn oil or equivalent
- 1 heaping tsp. garlic paste
- 1 heaping tsp. ginger paste
- 1 heaping tsp. cayenne pepper/cilantro paste (may be omitted if you want less heat)
- 1/2 tsp. turmeric
- 1.5 to 2 lb. boneless chicken
- 1 c. chicken broth (set aside 1/3 c.)
- 1 can coconut milk (you can get this at an Oriental food store)
- 3 tsp. yellow pea flour (Besan; you can get this at a store like AMKO)
- Heat oil in a nonstick 5-quart Dutch oven over medium heat. Mix in garlic paste, ginger paste, cayenne pepper and turmeric. Add chicken and cook in mixture for 15 to 20 minutes with frequent stirring.
- Add chicken broth; cover the pot and cook for another 15 minutes on medium setting, stirring occasionally.
- Add coconut milk and stir it in.
- Mix split pea flour in 1/3 cup chicken broth (it will be lumpy, but you should be patient and stir it to remove the lumps); add to the pot and mix in thoroughly.
- Bring the pot to boil; reduce heat to medium-low and replace lid.
- Cook for another 30 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add salt to taste; if you like it a little tangy, you can add some citric acid to taste. You can eat this curry over rice or spaghetti.
- Enjoy!
