INGREDIENTS

3 skinless chicken thigh fillets
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (can also be peanut or vegetable)
2 banana shallots
2 cloves of garlic
A piece of fresh ginger
50 g of yellow curry paste (or less intense Massaman curry paste or more spicy red curry paste)
2 ripe mangoes
150 ml of broth or water
400 ml of coconut milk
½ teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of 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

A large cup of basmati rice
2 equal (rather less than full) cups of water
2 lime leaves
½ teaspoon of salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Preheat 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 a lid. Bring to a boil on the stove and cook for 2 minutes. Cover with the lid. Turn off the oven, place the pot inside, and time for 17 minutes. Then remove the rice and keep it covered until serving.
2
In a deep pan, fry the pieces of chicken meat in oil on each side for about 3 minutes and set aside. Add a little more fat to the pan along with finely chopped shallots, finely grated peeled ginger, and garlic. Let soften on a lower flame for 5 minutes.
3
In a mixer or blender, combine coconut milk, one peeled mango, cumin, and ground coriander. Blend until smooth.
4
Add curry paste to the pan, stir for a minute and let it become fragrant, deglaze with water or broth and let the browned bits add flavor. Add the fried meat and the coconut-mango mixture. Stir, cover with a lid, and let simmer gently for 15-20 minutes.
5
For 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 salt if necessary.
6
Serve with yogurt, chili pepper, additional herbs, and ideally also coconut chips along with the cooked basmati rice.
