You know what? This is far from the best curry I’ve had. It was warm and curry-like, but I probably wouldn’t eat it again. Nice and simple, yes. Will warm you up and give you some veggies. If it was a movie it would be Avatar, beautiful visuals but forgettable story and ultimately lacking substance.
INGREDIENTS
1 onion, diced
500-600 grams chicken breast (cut into chunks), or quorn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can coconut milk/cream
2 cups frozen beans, boiled
1/3 cup kumara
1 carrot chopped up
1 generous drizzle of maple syrup/few Tbsps of sugar
1 packet of vermicelli rice noodles
To garnish (optional):
Yoghurt
Coriander
Homemade curry powder mix (save this recipe and just make a bunch of it and fill a jar or something, that way it’s always on hand)
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp cumin
DIRECTIONS
Heat a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When it's hot, add the onion and stir until the onion becomes see-through. Add in the diced chicken breast. Cook until the sides of the chicken are whitened, and then add the home-made curry powder mix. Fry that off for a minute, stirring it through the chicken, then add the diced tomatoes and coconut cream. Turn up the heat and bring the curry to boil. Add the carrot, kumara and a generous drizzle of maple syrup/sugar, stir and simmer for five minutes.
While that’s simmering, bring a medium pot of water to boil and add the noodles. Leave until they are cooked through. Strain them, and portion them into 5 or 6 bowls.
Boil the beans. Add into the curry and bring off the heat. Serve on top of the noodles. Can garnish with yoghurt and/or coriander.
Try it if you want. Lol.
