Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and pureed
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1-2 red chili peppers, sliced (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by seasoning the chicken pieces with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices. Then, add the mango puree along with coconut milk, stirring well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat with the sauce. Let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Check the seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving for a burst of freshness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of lime juice before serving.
- If the sauce is too thick, stir in a little water or additional coconut milk.
- Use ripe mangoes for the best sweetness and flavor.
- This dish is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
