INGREDIENTS
- 3 skinless chicken thigh fillets
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (can also be peanut or vegetable oil)
- 2 banana shallots
- 2 cloves garlic
- A piece of fresh ginger
- 50 g yellow curry paste (or less intense Massaman curry paste or, conversely, more spicy red curry paste)
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 150 ml broth or water
- 400 ml coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Salt
- Fresh herbs (coriander, Thai basil or mint)
- Chili pepper to taste
- White yogurt for serving (Miil 10 % fat)
- Toasted coconut chips for serving (optional)
SIDE DISH
- Large cup basmati rice
- 2 equal (rather scant) cups water
- 2 lime leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- 1Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Mix the rinsed rice with lime leaves, salt, and water in a pot that can be placed in the oven with its lid. Bring to a boil on the stovetop and cook for 2 minutes. Cover with the lid. Turn off the oven, place the pot inside, and set a timer for 17 minutes. Then remove the rice and leave it covered until serving.
- 2In a deep pan, sauté the chicken pieces in oil for about 3 minutes on each side and set aside. Add a little more fat to the pan, along with finely chopped shallots, finely grated peeled ginger, and garlic. Let soften for 5 minutes over a lower heat.
- 3In a mixer or blender, combine coconut milk, one peeled mango, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Blend until smooth.
- 4Add the curry paste to the pan, stir for a minute and let it become fragrant, then deglaze with water or broth to scrape up any browned bits that will add flavor. Add the sautéed meat and the coconut-mango mixture. Stir, cover with a lid, and let it gently simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- 5For the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the peeled and diced second mango. When you turn off the heat completely, also add some fresh herbs, and season with more salt if needed.
- 6Serve with yogurt, chili pepper, more herbs, and ideally also coconut chips, along with the cooked basmati rice.
