Cooking & Recipis : COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY RECIPE

Ingredients:

1/4 cup whole unsalted cashews 

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces 

Salt To Taste

1/4 cup vegetable oil 

1/4 tsp black mustard seeds 

1/4 tsp cumin seeds 

1/4 tsp ground coriander 

1 tbsp curry powder 

1 medium onion, thinly sliced 

1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger 

1 garlic clove, minced 

1 (14 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk 

1/4 cup frozen peas 

2 tbsp chopped cilantro

How to make chicken with coconut milk:

* Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

* Spread the cashews in a pie plate and bake for 5 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly toasted. Transfer to a plate to cool.

* Lightly season the chicken with salt. In a large, deep skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil until smoking.

* Add the chicken and cook over moderately high heat until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and reduce the heat to moderate.

* Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet and heat until smoking. Add the mustard seeds and cook for about 1 minute, or until they stop popping. Add the cumin seeds, coriander and curry powder, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

* Add the onion, ginger and garlic, and cook until the onion softens, about 10 minutes; if the  mixture seems dry, add up to 1/4 cup of water to prevent sticking.

* Stir in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the peas and cook for 1 minute. Transfer the coconut chicken curry to a bowl, sprinkle with the cilantro and cashews and serve.
