Recipe Caribbean Chicken Curry a la KKA

[karadekoolaid]

Caribbean Chicken with Mango and Banana
(Serves 6)

Ingredients:
800 gms Chicken breast
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch fresh Ginger, minced
2 fresh green chiles, minced (optional if you don’t like it hot)
4 tsps curry powder
300mls coconut milk
1 tsp sea salt
1 fresh, ripe, medium mango
1 large, ripe banana
Coriander leaf for garnish
Oil for frying (your choice)

Method:

• Clean the Chicken breast and cut into strips. Dice the onion.
• Heat a tablespoon or so of oil in a large pan and add the onion. Cook for a few minutes until soft, then add the garlic,ginger and chile pepper, if you're using it. Stir once or twice and cook for a minute or so until you sense the aroma.
• Now add the curry powder, stir once or twice, then add the chicken. Coat the Chicken thoroughly with onion/spice mixture; about a minute. The Chicken will begin to change colour.
• Now add the coconut milk and the salt. Bring to a boil. Lower the temperature to medium , cover and cook through for about 15 minutes, or until the Chicken is just cooked through.
• Peel the fresh mango and cut into cubes. Remove the lid from the pan and add the mango. Stir once and allow to cook for a further 5 minutes.
• Peel the banana and slice into rounds.
• Just before serving, add the banana, stir through for a couple of minutes and garnish with fresh coriander leaf.

Thanks karadekoolaid
Have you actually made this and did you like it?
I can see it work, but not for me unless I take out the banana, use green mango and boatloads more green chili's.
But then, it wasn't posted for my benefit

Yes, I've made it quite a few times (I even included it in a "Curries around the world" course a few years ago.
If I cooked it for me, it would have about half a dozen chiles in it, because the coconut milk tends to dull the heat. I'd probably also use turmeric and coriander powder, instead of the curry powder.
