Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Coconut Chicken Curry.
Step 1
Start by heating a large skillet over medium heat and adding a delightful blend of spices: curry powder, ground cinnamon, ground cumin, ground turmeric, ground coriander, nutmeg, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, ground cloves, allspice, and bay leaves.
Step 2
As the spices warm up, let them dance together for about five minutes, stirring occasionally to release their aromatic oils and fill your kitchen with a mouthwatering fragrance.
Step 3
Next, drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the chopped onion.
Step 4
Sauté the onion for around five minutes until it turns a lovely golden brown, adding a sweet depth to your dish.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to elevate those flavors even further! Add minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, a touch of white sugar, and a pinch of salt to the skillet.
Step 6
Stir everything together and let it cook for another five minutes, allowing the fragrant aromas to envelop you.
Step 7
Once the base is ready, introduce the chicken pieces to the skillet, followed by creamy coconut milk, smooth plain yogurt, and a generous pat of butter.
Step 8
Bring this luscious mixture to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
This is where the magic happens as the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, creating a rich and comforting curry.
Step 10
When the time is up, don’t forget to remove and discard the bay leaves.
Step 11
For a bright finish, stir in a splash of lime juice, which will add a refreshing zing.
Step 12
Serve your delicious curry with lime wedges on the side, inviting everyone to dig in and enjoy a taste of warmth and spice!.
