Chicken curry (version I)

Chicken curry recipe is healthy, tasty and very easy to cook. You can do it in different ways. This version is, maybe, closest to the traditional recipe in which the final result seems like a soup. Also it is more spicy that the version I'll post tomorrow. One Spanish version of the chicken curry.





Ingredients:

300gr of chicken breast
1 carrot
1/2 aubergine
200ml of coconut milk
1 little onion
1 garlic clove
Sugar snaps
4 leafs of Kaffir Lime
10 leafs of basil
1/2 cube of chicken or fish stock
1 tablespoon of Yellow curry paste

Before to start, you have to know yo can use another kind of vegetable in spite of the selection I made. Try to use onion, garlic and the leafs of kaffir lime. The curry paste in this case is yellow, but you can make this recipe with the green or red versions.

This is a recipe very easy because all the ingredients are cooked in a soup and we don't have to brown nothing, except de garlic. So, put oil in a pot and add the garlic, before it turns brown, add the stock cube and the curry paste.

Now add water and boil it for a couple of minutes. Add the coconut milk, move and put the chicken breast cut in a medium sized pieces. It has to be cooked for 10-15 minutes or until you see it's ready.

One or two minutes before the chicken is cooked, add all the vegetables cut in pieces. Move and add salt if it's necessary.

Finally, add the basil leafs and serve it with rice. If you want the sauce more thick add Maizena or flour.
