Ingredients

Scale

Protein and Produce

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Spices and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Liquids and Oils

  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Sauté Onion: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  2. Add Aromatics and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder, cooking for another minute to release their flavors.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the skillet, cooking and stirring occasionally until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add Coconut Milk and Simmer: Pour in the coconut milk and add the salt. Stir well to combine, then bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook gently for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Incorporate Mango: Add the diced mango to the curry, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes just until the mango is heated through but still retains its shape and sweetness.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve the curry hot alongside steamed rice or naan bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm mango to ensure it holds its shape during cooking.
  • Adjust chili powder amounts according to your preferred spice level.
  • Serve with basmati rice or naan to soak up the delicious curry sauce.
  • For a richer coconut flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
  • Can be made mild by omitting chili powder entirely.
