Mango Coconut Chicken Curry
Ingredients:
For the Chicken
1½ lb (680 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp neutral oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp curry powder
½ tsp ground turmeric
1 can (13.5 oz / 400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
½ cup (120 ml) chicken broth
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp brown sugar or honey
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
1 large ripe but firm mango, cut into chunks
1 small red chili, thinly sliced, optional
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Cooked jasmine rice, for serving
Instructions:
Brown the chicken.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate.
Build the curry.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the curry powder and turmeric, and stir until fragrant.
Make it creamy.
Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth. Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, and salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
Finish the chicken.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Add the mango.
Gently fold in about two-thirds of the mango and the sliced chili, if using. Cook for just 1–2 minutes. You want the mango warm and juicy, not falling apart.
Brighten and serve.
Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve over warm jasmine rice, then spoon the remaining fresh mango on top. Finish with a little chopped cilantro.
