COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY



Coconut Chicken Curry image

Curry powder is stirred into this braise only during the last minute of cooking, delivering a bright hit of spice on top of the paprika and turmeric mellowed into the slow-simmered chicken. This dish from "Burma Superstar" by Desmond Tan and Kate Leahy (Ten Speed Press, 2017), needs time on the stove but not much attention, and gets even better after resting in the fridge, making it an ideal weeknight meal that can last days. There's plenty of coconut milk broth to spoon over rice or noodles. At his restaurant, Burma Superstar in Oakland, Calif., Mr. Tan also serves this with platha, a buttery, flaky Burmese flatbread, for dipping.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/3 cup canola oil
2 yellow onions, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (13-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
1 cup cilantro sprigs, for serving
1 lime or lemon, cut into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim the chicken thighs of excess fat and cut into 1/2- to 1-inch pieces; transfer to a bowl. Add the paprika, turmeric and salt, and use your hands to mix well. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature while you prepare the other ingredients, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high. Stir in the onions, lower the heat to medium-low and cook gently, stirring often to prevent scorching, until tender and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring often, until most of the water from the onions has been cooked out and a glossy layer of oil has risen to the surface, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add the marinated chicken and stir to release the spices into the onion. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a near boil. Let the coconut milk simmer briskly for about 4 minutes to thicken a bit. Lower the heat to medium-low and add the fish sauce. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water and bring to a near boil. The broth will thin out as the chicken starts to release its juices.
  • Lower to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Droplets of paprika-red oil will rise to the surface. Stir in the curry powder and cayenne, simmer briefly and remove from the heat.
  • If time permits, let the curry sit for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the chicken to soak in more flavors as the curry cools. Bring to a simmer again right before serving and taste, adding more salt or fish sauce if desired. Serve over rice or noodles, with bowls of cilantro and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste: Add more or less curry powder, chili powder, or other spices to suit your liking.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Rice, noodles, or vegetables are all great choices.

Conclusion:

Coconut curry chicken balls are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the curry sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
