Coconut Chicken
Ingredients
- 6-8 tbsp organic coconut yoghurt
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin seeds, ground
- 1tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp red chilli powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 3cm fresh ginger, grated
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 4 skinless organic grass fed chicken breast cubed
- 1-2 tbsp organic ghee
- 1 onion very finely chopped or grated
- 2 tbsp ground cashews or almonds
- 2 tbsp ground coconut
- large pinch fresh coriander, chopped
Method
Step
Place the yoghurt into a bowl with the turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, coriander, chilli powder, garam masala, ginger and garlic and mix well to combine the flavours.
Step 2
Add the chicken pieces into the yoghurt mixture and coat all the chicken. Leave to marinate for 4-5 hours or leave it the fridge overnight.
Step 3
Heat some oil in a pan and cook the onion until it softens and just starts turning golden (you don’t want them too brown).
Step 4
Add the marinated chicken to the pan and stir until the meat just starts to cook.
Step 5
Reduce the heat and place the lid on the pan and leave to cook for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove the lid and stir in the coconut. If it seems dry, add a little splash of hot water and allow the chicken to cook for couple of minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 7
Add some fresh coriander when it is ready to serve.
