Today I thought I’d share one of my favorite recipes. I got this recipe from a lady I used to work for who has turned into a good friend. She wasn’t sure where exactly she got it from – but it was well loved in her kitchen as well. When I started on my real food journey, and especially when I started reading Eat Fat Lose Fat , I was excited because I already had a well-loved recipe that I could eat! To top it off, it’s very versatile – I never make it the same way twice!
BURMESE CHICKEN CURRY
2-3 lbs chicken, cubed
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ C vegetable coconut oil
2T soy sauce
2t chili powder (sometimes I just use a few red pepper flakes to spice things up)
1t turmeric
2t coriander
1t ginger
½ t cardamom
1 can coconut milk
hot pepper, to taste
Sauté chicken in coconut oil. Add onion and garlic when chicken is just about cooked through. Add spices and coconut milk to the chicken when the onions are soft. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes. {I don’t think it needs a full 40 minutes!}
this is before the coconut milk & spices |
Enjoy! And please leave a comment if you have some other veggies you like to add (or think would be good to try)!
