Ingredients

  • 500 g frozen mango chunks substitute for 2 ripened fresh mangos
  • 500 g chicken thighs
  • 400 ml canned coconut milk
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon fresh ginger finely chopped
  • 1 medium red pepper chopped into 1 inch squares
  • 1 large carrot sliced thinly
  • 2 teaspoon mild curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lime cut into quarters to garnish
  • 1 large handful fresh coriander chopped to garnish

Instructions

  • Heat half of the olive oil in a wide based frying pan.
  • Chop the onion, garlic and ginger, add to the pan once hot and fry off for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the curry powder and turmeric to the pan and continue to cook, stirring regularly for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Put the onion, garlic, ginger and spice mixture into a food processor along with the mango chunks and coconut milk. Blitz until smooth. This is your sauce.
  • Add the other half of the oil to the frying pan. Chop the chicken into chunks and add to the pan on a medium/high heat until the chicken is browned all over.
  • Whilst the chicken is browning, chop the peppers into 1 inch squares and slice the carrot thinly.
  • Add the pepper to the pan with the chicken, stir and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  • Place the sliced carrots into the pan along with the sauce, reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, ensuring the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Season to taste, adding a squeeze of lime if the sauce is too sweet, garnish with the lime, a handful of coriander and serve with white rice.

Notes

Serve with microwave white rice for a simple, healthy family dinner.
