A good coconut curry in Thailand is a bit like a good pot-au-feu with us.
There are as many exotic recipes as cooks in Asia.
I reveal here my version of chicken curry with coconut.
But shhh... that stays between us because, at €1.80 per person, I wouldn't want anyone stealing my secret!
To vary the pleasures, I can replace the chicken with beef, duck or even white fish, such as cod.
Each of these ingredients goes very well with coconut milk and cilantro. I admit that I have a preference for cod.
- 2 chicken cutlets
- 3 carrots
- 1 bunch of 30 g fresh coriander to chop
- 1 stirred yogurt
- 1 carton of 200 ml coconut milk
- 250 g of basmati or Thai rice
- 1 jar of green curry paste
- 2 tablespoons of Nuoc Nam
- 1 pinch of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of curry
- Peanut or sunflower oil
1. I cut the cutlets into strips and I slice the onion.
2. I'm preparing a julienne of carrots.
3. In a bowl, I mix yogurt, nuoc mam and a tablespoon
green curry coffee.
4. I brush my meat with this mixture and let it marinate
in a salad bowl while preparing the rest.
5. In a wok, sauté the chopped onions over medium heat.
and carrot julienne with a drizzle of olive oil for 5
min.
6. I then throw my thin strips of marinated chicken into the
wok and brown them with the vegetables for 10 minutes, still on high heat
medium.
7. Meanwhile, I start cooking the basmati rice in
a pot of salted boiling water. For it to become sticky I
cover my pan with a lid.
8. I baste the meat and the vegetables with the coconut milk, I add
a pinch of curry and a pinch of paprika and simmer 2
min in the wok.
9. I place a few chopped fresh coriander leaves on
my pretty dish.
There you go, the coconut curry chicken is already ready :-)
Simple, practical and delicious!
Plus, it's a really cheap recipe that everyone loves.
Now all you have to do is enjoy your curry with sticky rice!
Sticky rice goes perfectly with a Thai chicken curry.
Just because we're not at the restaurant, doesn't mean we're going to settle for white rice with this delicious green curry.
I don't have a rice cooker, but that doesn't stop me from making really good sticky rice.
For this, buy glutinous rice in a bag in a Thai store if you cannot find it in the supermarket.
Start by getting rid of the starch:pour the rice in lukewarm water and mix. Empty the water and repeat until the water becomes translucent.
Steam the rice by placing it in a colander over your pan filled with water if you don't have a steamer.
Taste regularly, in 20 min the rice should be ready and sticky to perfection.
